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.  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 conspicuous castle of Duino on a headland around a mile W of the harbour is a good landmark in the approach to Sistiana. The harbour is protected by two breakwater enclosing the half-moon shaped natural bay. Give the ends of the breakwaters a clearance of at least 15 metres on entry. Depths in the harbour range from 2.0 metres inshore to 6.0 metres in the centre. Shelter is good in most conditions, although strong southerlies send in a potentially dangerous swell.

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

Communication

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

Navigation

The conspicuous castle of Duino on a headland around a mile W of the harbour is a good landmark in the approach to Sistiana. The harbour is protected by two breakwaters enclosing the half-moon shaped natural bay. Give the ends of the breakwaters a clearance of at least 15 metres on entry. Depths in the harbour range from 2.0 metres inshore to 6.0 metres in the centre. The shelter is good in most conditions, although strong southerlies send in a potentially dangerous swell.

Berthing

Inside the harbour yachts berth on a series of ten long pontoons extending out from the quays along the E side of the harbour. The pontoons are managed by four different yacht clubs and a visiting yacht may find a berth here if a member is away. The pontoons have laid moorings tailed to buoys. Otherwise, yachts in transit moor to the quay immediately E of the slipway, where there are some laid moorings tailed to buoys. Depths here are 3.0 - 3.5 metres. Maximum length of yacht accommodated is reported as 10 metres (update needed).
