Today the town is a bustling, if slightly faded, resort, with a lively cultural scene, an elegant old casino, a huge flower market and some spectacular mountain scenery just a few kilometers inland.  Yachting visitors berth either in the busy '''Porto Pubblico''' or the much larger, better-appointed (and more expensive) [[Portosole Marina]].

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE sea breeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate.  While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E.  In winter, the ''tramontana'', a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the ''libecchio'' is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.

There are no dangers in the approach to San Remo. The buildings of the town rising up the slopes from the harbour are visible from some distance off.  Closer in, the two breakwaters and the masts of the yachts will be clearly identifiable.  The harbour entrance is roughly in the centre of the two breakwaters and entry is from SE.  Depths in the entrance are 8.0 - 10.0 metres.

San Remo harbour from the E

San Remo lies on the Ligurian coast of Italy at the western end of the Gulf of Genoa, just over 10 miles E of the French border. It is the first major port encountered by yachts cruising eastwards from French into Italian waters. Today the town is a bustling, if slightly faded, resort, with a lively cultural scene, an elegant old casino, a huge flower market and some spectacular mountain scenery just a few kilometers inland. Yachting visitors berth either in the busy Porto Pubblico or the much larger, better-appointed (and more expensive) Portosole Marina.

Weather

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE sea breeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E. In winter, the tramontana, a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the libecchio is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.

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 La Garde (Toulon), Roma and Cagliari (Sardinia)
