The prevailing winds around the Aolian Islands during the summer tend to be from NW or NE, although in calm weather seabreezes can be encountered from any direction blowing onto and between the islands.  While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and careful forward planning is necessary as there are only two harbours which offer adequate shelter (and even then, not in strong southerlies).  In winter, the ''gregale'' is a strong NE wind that can affect the whole of the island group and blow for several days.

Harbour of San Nicola L'Arena

San Nicola L'Arena is a small fishing village and tourist resort 18 miles SE of Palermo in Sicily. Developed around the 16th-century castle of St Nicholas and the church of the same name, its purpose-built harbour offers berths for up to 800 vessels on 14 pontoons. It offers a secure alternative to Palermo for cruisers wishing to leave their boats to explore the hinterland of the island.

Weather

The prevailing winds around the Aeolian Islands during the summer tend to be from NW or NE, although in calm weather sea breezes can be encountered from any direction blowing onto and between the islands. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and careful forward planning is necessary as there are only two harbours which offer adequate shelter (and even then, not in strong southerlies). In winter, the gregale is a strong NE wind that can affect the whole of the island group and blow for several days.

Sources for weather forecasts:

  • 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 are broadcast from stations at Roma, Cagliari (Sardinia) and Augusta (Sicily).

Passages

Communication

Navigation

The harbour is enclosed by two long moles extending NE from the shore. The castle is a prominent landmark at the root of the southern mole. Entrance to the harbour is from due E. Depths of 5.0 - 6.0 metres in the entrance.

Berthing

Yachts are berthed on one of 14 pontoons extending from both moles. There are 800 berths in total, of which 80 are supposedly reserved for vessels in transit. Maximum length 25 metres. Visiting yachts berth either on the pontoons extending from the N mole, which are operated by the Club Nautico Marina di S. Nicola, or those extending from the S mole, which are operated by Mare Sud. Depths at the pontoons range from around 2.5 metres at the innermost to 4.0 metres at the outermost. There are laid moorings at all berths. Good shelter. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Toilets and showers.
