SAILING CONDITIONS
Sardinia
and Costa Smeralda wild and untouched provides sailing conditions
similar to those of Corsica: the predominant winds
are westerly (south-westerly to north-westerly).
Apart form the Mouth of
Bonifacio, renowned for its
difficulty, weather conditions are mainly calm in
the summer.
As a general rule, Sardinia is similar to Corsica in
that weather conditions can change very quickly and
the wind near the coastlines can be violent in
storms. For a sailor who has experience of the
Channel and the Atlantic, navigation is easier but
the wind conditions are unpredictable. Unless you
are in an area of low pressure there are no precise
wind flows and the wind can change direction
unexpectedly. When at anchor, it is vital to follow
weather forecasts to avoid nasty surprises. If there
is a bad weather warning "avviso di burrasca"
information is transmitted on channel 16.
