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. Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

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)

Navigation

The entrance to the Lagoon of Litoranea Veneta/wiki/Portobaseleghe#Lagoon_of_Litoranea_VenetaWorld icon.png Lagoon of Litoranea Veneta [[Portobaseleghe#Lagoon of Litoranea Veneta|Lagoon of Litoranea Veneta]] 45°37.573'N, 012°58.676'E is prone to silting and depths are currently (January 2011) reported as around 3.0 metres at low water. An entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. The channel is marked from the entrance up to Portobaseleghe by a series of red and white painted marker posts. Stay in the centre of the marked channel for around one mile until arriving at the small marina of Portobaseleghe on starboard.
