| General Information: | The coast in the area is a continuous beach. In stormy weather keep outside the 20m line, approaching either from the north or the south. The major reference in the area is the red striped Aveiro lighthouse, 65m high. The marina is located in the west side of Ovar channel, about 10,5M from the entrance of the river. |
| Entrance: | The sea at the bar may be rough with winds NW to SW, getting worse on ebb that may reach 7 kn and normally lasts longer than the flood. The best time to sail (enter or leave) is close to high water. Do not sail after dark. Give a wide berth to the west breakwater for normally the area has swell. To approach the harbour use the leading lights at 085,4º formed by the south breakwater light in line with Aveiro lighthouse. Once near the west breakwater, take the leading lights formed by the two red columns on the north shore (Raiz do Molhe/Post) bearing 065,6º. Skirt the north side taking the channels S. Jacinto and Ovar, leaving the red light marking the west edge of Ilha do Monte Farinha on the starboard hand. Upstream S. Jacinto the depths decrease to 2,5m chart datum. The marina will be on the west side after passing 3 jetties and Bico do Muranzel. |
