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. |

The prominent Piave Vecchia lighthouse on the W side of the entrance is visible from some considerable distance. The entrance is narrow and a good lookout is needed for other vessels leaving the river, especially in poor visibility. The approach should be made on a course of around 335 degrees to keep in the deepest water. The better depths are on the W side, close to the lighthouse. The channel here is dredged to a depth of 3.5 metres. However, as with most of the harbours along this coast, entry is best during the last hour or so of the tide, which can add up to a metre to the depths in the entrance. An entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds, when it is safer to seek a berth in the lagoon via the Porto Lido. The various marinas are situated on either side of the river from half a mile to one mile from the entrance. | ||

Piave Vecchia
| |
| |
The canal port of Piave Vecchia (also sometimes referred to as Porto Cavallino) is situated at the mouth of the Sile river, which disgorges into the Adriatic eight miles NE of the Porto di Lido entrance to the Venetian Lagoon and half a mile E of the settlement of Cavallino. Although not strictly part of Venice, the marinas in the river here are conveniently situated for visiting the city and have good transport links. They are also generally easier to access in the right conditions than many of the marinas in the lagoon. There are four principal marina operations here where yachts of up to 30 metres can find a berth in depths of up to 6.0 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. 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)
Passages
See Aegean to West Mediterranean Passages.
Islands
There are no offshore islands but a total of 117 small islands in the lagoon, some inhabited but many of them little more than extensive mudbanks. The principal inhabited islands are as follows:
Communication
Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.
Also see World Cruiser's Nets.
Access to Piave Vecchia is via the mouth of the Sile river [[Venice - Piave Vecchia#Sile river|Sile river]] 45°28.690'N, 012°35.071'E , which is flanked by two moles extending into the Adriatic Sea among the miles of beaches lining this coast. The prominent Piave Vecchia lighthouse on the W side of the entrance is visible from some considerable distance. The entrance is narrow and a good lookout is needed for other vessels leaving the river, especially in poor visibility. The approach should be made on a course of around 335 degrees to keep in the deepest water. The better depths are on the W side, close to the lighthouse. The channel here is dredged to a depth of 3.5 metres. However, as with most of the harbours along this coast, entry is best during the last hour or so of the tide, which can add up to a metre to the depths in the entrance. An entry should not be attempted in strong onshore winds, when it is safer to seek a berth in the lagoon via the Porto Lido. The various marinas are situated on either side of the river from half a mile to one mile from the entrance.
