Grignano

| |
The harbour of Grignano is situated 9 miles SE of Monfalcone and 5 miles NW of the city of Trieste on the Adriatic coast of Italy. Although quite isolated, the small marina here offers a more peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Trieste eight kilometers to the S by the coast road. It is at the heart of one of the smallest marina nature reserves in the Mediterranean, the Riserva Naturale di Miramare, and also a handy stop-off point for a visit to the Castello di Miramare, 300 metres S round the headland. The harbour has a total of 350 berths for yachts of up to 20 metres in depths of up to 9.0 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)

The harbor of Grignano sits immediately N of the headland of Punta Miramare, protected by a long breakwater extending N/NE from the headland and a short mole extending WNW from the shore. There are no hazards in the approach. Depths in the entrance are 6.0 - 6.5 meters.
Berthing
Inside the harbour yachts berth on four long pontoons and associated quays along the shore and the breakwater. The berths are managed by three separate concessionaires. There are spaces for 350 yachts of up to 20 metres. There are laid moorings at all berths with pick-up buoys. Berth wherever you can find space (but check you are not on a local yacht’s berth if leaving your yacht for any length of time). Depths in the harbour range from 2.5 - 9.0 metres. In settled weather, it is possible for yachts in transit to tie up alongside on the N side of the mole. Shelter here is very poor, however, with any winds from N and W. There are no facilities in the harbour, other than water and electricity.
