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).

The harbour is somewhat inconspicuous and the breakwaters will only be identifiable when close in.  The harbour is entered from NE to avoid the shallower waters inshore, but note that depths in the entrance are only 3.5 - 4.0 metres at best.  Santo Spirito should not be entered with any onshore swell running.  Once inside the harbour, beware of the rocky patch just awash on the W side of the harbour.

Santo Spirito Harbour

The harbour of Santo Spirito lies on the Adriatic coast of Italy six miles NW of the port of Bari and eight miles SE of Molfetta. The harbour is small and relatively shallow, with depths inside from 1.5 - 4.0 metres, but is suitable in settled conditions for smaller, shallow draft yachts of up to 15.0 metres.

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.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

The harbour is somewhat inconspicuous and the breakwaters will only be identifiable when close in. The harbour is entered from NE to avoid the shallower waters inshore, but note that depths in the entrance are only 3.5 - 4.0 metres at best. Santo Spirito should not be entered with any onshore swell running.

Warning: Once inside the harbour, beware of the rocky patch just awash on the W side of the harbour.

Berthing

Inside the harbour there are several pontoons operated by different yacht and sailing clubs. A visiting yacht is most likely to find a berth at the pontoons of the Circolo Nautico Baia Blu at the S end of the harbour (behind the floating wave break pontoon), which have 120 places for vessels up to 13 metres with water and electricity (maximum depth 2.5 metres), or the three pontoons of the Circolo Nautico Costa del Sole extending from the western mole, which have 60 places for vessels of up to 15 metres with water and electricity (maximum depth 2.5 - 3.0 metres).
