| summary= '''Porto Santa Margherita''' is a huge, purpose-built leisure development and marina complex at the mouth of the river Livenza on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]] near the town of Caorle, eight miles NE of [[Cortellazzo]] and six miles SW of the entrance to [[Portobaseleghe]] on the Litoranea Veneta. The development contains a marina, [[Marina 4, Porto Santa Margherita|Marina 4]], and a further marina, [[Darsena dell’Orologio]], provides additional berthing 1400 metres up a side canal towards the town of Caorle. Between these the marinas they provide a total of 930 berths for yachts up to 22 metres. Depths over the bar at the river entrance are around 3.0 - 3.5 metres only at low water and entrance is inadvisable with draft of 2.0 metres or more except close to high water and in settled conditions. In any event, it is preferable to enter Porto Santa Margherita on a rising tide in case of silting.

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.  Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

==Navigation==
-
The entrance to the river Livenza lies at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|35.1|N|12|52.08|E|}}.  The entrance is protected by two 500-metre long converging breakwaters. The entrance is prone to silting and depths are currently (June 2015) around 3.0 - 3.5 metres at low water. Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Beware of the seasonal ferry (April - September) that exits the river at speed. [[Marina 4]] is situated 400 metres upstream on the port side of the channel. Access is along a narrow channel through a pair of lock gates (used to maintain depths in the marina) with a width of 7.4 metres. For  [[Darsena dell’Orologio]], take the right fork in the river 100 metres beyond Marina 4 into the Canale dell’Orologio and follow the channel for a further 1400 metres. The basin of Darsena dell’Orologio is to starboard, close to the town of Caorle and is accessed via a very narrow gate.

Porto Santa Margherita

Porto Santa Margherita is a huge, purpose-built leisure development and marina complex at the mouth of the river Livenza on the Adriatic coast of Italy near the town of Caorle, eight miles NE of Cortellazzo and six miles SW of the entrance to Portobaseleghe on the Litoranea Veneta. The development contains a marina, Marina 4, and a further marina, Darsena dell’Orologio, provides additional berthing 1400 metres up a side canal towards the town of Caorle. Between these the marinas they provide a total of 930 berths for yachts up to 22 metres. Depths over the bar at the river entrance are around 3.0 - 3.5 metres only at low water and entrance is inadvisable with draft of 2.0 metres or more except close to high water and in settled conditions. In any event, it is preferable to enter Porto Santa Margherita on a rising tide in case of silting.

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. Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

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 Aegean to West Mediterranean Passages.*

Communication

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

The entrance is prone to silting and depths are currently (June 2015) around 3.0 - 3.5 metres at low water. Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Beware of the seasonal ferry (April - September) that exits the river at speed. Marina 4 is situated 400 metres upstream on the port side of the channel. Access is along a narrow channel through a pair of lock gates (used to maintain depths in the marina) with a width of 7.4 metres. For Darsena dell’Orologio, take the right fork in the river 100 metres beyond Marina 4 into the Canale dell’Orologio and follow the channel for a further 1400 metres.
