| summary= '''Porto San Rocco''' is a purpose-built marina and leisure development on the S side of the Gulf of Trieste, just over a mile SW of the main commercial harbour of [[Trieste]] and half a mile W of the picturesque harbour of [[Muggia]]. The marina is the last suitable port of call in Italy before the border with [[Slovenia]]. Like its near neighbour, [[Muggia]], Porto San Rocco is part of the only narrow strip of Istria that is still Italian territory following the extensive redrawing of national borders at the end of World War II. Its harbour, developed in conjunction with Camper & Nicholsons, provides berthing for up to 525 yachts of up to 60 metres. In addition to providing all the services expected of a full-service marina, the harbour is also a useful base for a visit to the town of [[Muggia]] 15 minutes walk to the east along the coast.

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).

Porto San Rocco from the NW

Porto San Rocco is a purpose-built marina and leisure development on the S side of the Gulf of Trieste, just over a mile SW of the main commercial harbour of Trieste and half a mile W of the picturesque harbour of Muggia. The marina is the last suitable port of call in Italy before the border with Slovenia. Like its near neighbour, Muggia, Porto San Rocco is part of the only narrow strip of Istria that is still Italian territory following the extensive redrawing of national borders at the end of World War II. Its harbour, developed in conjunction with Camper & Nicholsons, provides berthing for up to 525 yachts of up to 60 metres. In addition to providing all the services expected of a full-service marina, the harbour is also a useful base for a visit to the town of Muggia 15 minutes walk to the east along the coast.

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 Aegean to West Mediterranean Passages.

Communication

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