Cavallino-Treporti
| |
| |
The busy resort district of Cavallino-Treporti, situated on a long promontory protecting the N side of the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic, is second only to Venice Lido as a beach destination, with mile after mile of golden sands extending as far as the Sile River and the district of Jesolo to the NE. On its western, lagoon side there are two small marinas with good depths where yachts of up to 50 metres can find a berth in depths of up to 6.5 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. 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)

Islands

The marinas of Cavallino-Treporti are approached via the Porto di Lido [[Venice - Cavallino-Treporti#Porto di Lido|Porto di Lido]] 45°25.180'N, 012°26.000'E which is the principal (and busiest) entrance to the lagoon, giving the most direct access to Venice and Cavallino-Treporti. As the deepest channel with depths of over 10 metres, it is also the one used by ferries and large commercial vessels. The ends of the N and S breakwaters are identifiable by conspicuous black and white and red and white painted structures. A fairway beacon is situated around 2.5 miles SE of the entrance, from where a course of 300 degrees brings you safely through the entrance.
