During the summer months the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal seabreezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting.  In the southern Adriatic, the “scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common.  Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

The coast around  Porto Garibaldi is mostly low-lying with few distinctive features.  A tall red and white painted tower with a microwave dish sited inland at Comacchio is the most visible feature on the approach.  Closer in, a long southern breakwater and two shorter northern breakwaters are identifiable.  Entry is between the two smaller breakwaters on a course of 255 degrees.  Depths in the entrance are only around 3.5 - 4.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres at the lowest tides.  A red light is shown on the starboard hand breakwater and on the S side of the canal 900 metres upstream when large commercial vessels are leaving or entering port and entry is prohibited at such times.  In the approach from both N and S, a yacht should stay at least half a mile offshore to avoid shoals and underwater obstructions.

Note: along this stretch of the Adriatic coast tidal ranges can exceed 1.0 metre at springs, so judging the tides right can make a significant difference to safe access in most of the shallower harbours.

About 900 metres up the canal there is a narrow, tributary canal on port side marked with port and starboard markers which leads to the small marina of [[Marina degli Estensi]], with 300 berths on pontoons for yachts of up to 25 metres in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The access channel is dredged to a depth of 4.0 metres. See [[Marina degli Estensi]] for details.

The Assonautica di Ferrara club operates a small basin on the S side of the canal 100 metres beyond the side canal leading to [[Marina degli Estensi]] and 200 metres before the road bridge. The basin has around 70 berths on a single long pontoon and associated catwalks for vessels up to 15 metres.  Depths in the basin range from 3.0 - 4.0 metres. Water and electricity at the berths.  Clubhouse with toilets and restaurant.  The berths here are often full of local craft but you may be lucky enough to find one free.

The channel itself runs S from the main canal around 900 metres from the harbour entrance. The basin contains one long central pontoon (currently occupied by members of the ''Assonautica di Ferrara'') and a series of berths on catwalks running round the N and S sides of the basin. Berths here are unsuitable for yachts of much over 12-13 metres and depths are only 2.0 – 3.0 metres in most of the basin. It is, however, also possible lie alongside the high quay on the S side, between the fuel station and the craning-out point, for short periods if no craning operation is under way.  Note, however, that depths here at low water are barely 2.0 metres and the bollards are very widely spaced.

Harbour of Porto Garibaldi from WNW

The canal port of Porto Garibaldi lies on the Adriatic coast of Italy, 14 miles N of the port of Ravenna and 40 miles S of Chioggia at the southernmost entrance to the lagoon of Venice. The harbour lies five kilometers E of the ancient town of Comacchio, originally an Etruscan settlement which was joined to the sea via a canal during the rule of the Roman emperor Augustus. The town and port was held by various rulers, including the Goths, Lombards, Franks and Venetians until becoming part of the Papal States in 1598. In 1866 they became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy. Today the area survives on fish farming and sea salt production, supplemented by a growing tourist industry. The harbour of Porto Garibaldi is relatively shallow and, like many of the canal ports along this coast, should only be entered close to high water and in settled conditions. Visiting yachts of shallow or moderate draft can berth alongside the canal quays or in the basins of the Marina degli Estensi or Assonautica di Ferrara just over half a mile upstream from the entrance. Vessels of over 2.5 metres draft are advised to avoid the harbour.

Weather

During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

Sources for weather information:

  • There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation
  • The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
  • Navtex weather forecasts covering the Adriatic are broadcast from stations at Roma, Trieste, Kerkyra (Greece) and Split (Croatia)

Passages

See Adriatic.

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Navigation

Entrance to Porto Garibaldi

The coast around Porto Garibaldi is mostly low-lying with few distinctive features. A tall red and white painted tower with a microwave dish sited inland at Comacchio is the most visible feature on the approach. Closer in, a long southern breakwater and two shorter northern breakwaters are identifiable. Entry is between the two smaller breakwaters on a course of 255 degrees. Depths in the entrance are only around 3.5 - 4.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres at the lowest tides. A red light is shown on the starboard hand breakwater and on the S side of the canal 900 metres upstream when large commercial vessels are leaving or entering port and entry is prohibited at such times. In the approach from both N and S, a yacht should stay at least half a mile offshore to avoid shoals and underwater obstructions. No attempt should be made to enter of leave in strong onshore winds, which make the entrance dangerous.

Note: Along this stretch of the Adriatic coast tidal ranges can exceed 1.0 metre at springs, so judging the tides right can make a significant difference to safe access in most of the shallower harbours.

The Nautica Estensi is a newly constructed small basin on the W side of the channel leading to Marina degli Estensi. The channel itself runs S from the main canal around 900 metres from the harbour entrance. The basin contains one long central pontoon (currently occupied by members of the Assonautica di Ferrara) and a series of berths on catwalks running round the N and S sides of the basin. Berths here are unsuitable for yachts of much over 12-13 metres and depths are only 2.0 – 3.0 metres in most of the basin. It is, however, also possible lie alongside the high quay on the S side, between the fuel station and the craning-out point, for short periods if no craning operation is under way. Note, however, that depths here at low water are barely 2.0 metres and the bollards are very widely spaced.

The Assonautica di Ferrara club also operates a small basin on the S side of the canal 100 metres beyond the side canal leading to Marina degli Estensi and 200 metres before the road bridge. This basin normally has around 70 berths on a single long pontoon and associated catwalks for vessels up to 15 metres. However, as at June 2015 this basin has been cleared for dredging, so berths are at a premium, even for members. Depths in the basin range from 3.0 - 4.0 metres. Water and electricity at the berths. Clubhouse with toilets and restaurant. The berths here are usually full of local craft but you may be lucky enough to get one by prior arrangement.
