Burriana (ESBRX)

The artificial port is formed by two breakwaters, the E 630m in length and the W 768m in length. The depth at the entrance is approx 6.0m. The port facilities include a marine with 335 moorings for yachts and a Naval drydock. Two berths are available for handling minor commercial traffic.

Summer.

Burriana is situated on the Gulf of Valencia, approx 65km from the city of Valencia, close S of Castellon.

LOA 150m, draught 5.2m.

Anchorage can be obtained in depths between 10,0 and 12.0m, approximately 0.2nm SSE of the head of Dique de Levante (39°51.5'N 000°04.0'W) from which a light is exhibited. Anchorage can also be obtained anywhere off Playa del Groa, a beach extending 1nm N of the port to the mouth of the Rio Bechi (Rio Seco), a river which only flows in winter, in depths of 10.0-12.0m, sand or weed. Local pilots prefer to anchor off the S part of the beach where the bottom is cleaner. The anchorage is exposed to onshore winds. Caution: Care should be taken to keep clear of Bajo de Penas de Carambio, a sandy shoal with a depth of 4.7m over it 0.4nm SW of the head of Dique de Levante.

Approach and entry is made direct from the open sea. From a position between Nules Lighthouse 39°49.5'N 000°06.5'W, and the artificial reef 0.2nm E, the track leads N for about 0.175nm to the harbour entrance. The harbour entrance has a depth of 6.0m. Caution: The approaches to the harbour tend to shoal and the sandbank, which lies S of Dique de Levante, is reported to be extending S. Deeper water lies closer to the head of Dique de Poniente.
