The harbour of Pozzallo lies on the south coast of [[Sicily]], eighteen miles west of [[Porto Palo]] at the SE tip of the island.  An outer harbour caters primarily for commercial vessels and its quays are too high for all but very large yachts.  More suitable berths are to be found in the Porto Piccolo just north of the commercial harbour, where there are 150 berths for vessels up to 25 metres.  The entrance here is, however, prone to silting and it is wise to check the current depths before attempting to enter.

Contents

The harbour of Pozzallo lies on the south coast of Sicily, eighteen miles west of Porto Palo at the SE tip of the island. An outer harbour caters primarily for commercial vessels and its quays are too high for all but very large yachts. More suitable berths are to be found in the Porto Piccolo just north of the commercial harbour, where there are 150 berths for vessels up to 25 metres. The entrance here is, however, prone to silting and it is wise to check the current depths before attempting to enter.

Local Weather

The prevailing wind on the south coast of Sicily during the summer is a SW seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Most of the harbours along the south coast are liable to swell in strong southerly winds which are, however, rare outside the winter months.

Sources for weather forecasts: • There is a continuous (computerised 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 are broadcast from stations at Roma, Cagliari (Sardinia) and Augusta (Sicily).
