Live webcam: Sottomarina beach
A real-time picture straight from the beach — what the forecast above says, you can check here live. A click opens the stream full-size. Handy for deciding in the morning whether a beach day is worth it or whether the old town of Chioggia should be on the programme instead.
How the two work together: the live widget above shows temperature, wind level, wave conditions and the 5-day forecast. The webcam shows what it actually looks like outside. This is especially useful in borderline conditions — when Open-Meteo says “partly cloudy”, the picture tells you whether that is closer to 20% or 80% cloud.

Current water level, right here
What is the water level in Chioggia? The three ICPSM stations Chioggia Hafen (harbour), Chioggia Vigo (Piazzetta Vigo, town centre) and Mole Sud Chioggia (Bocca di Chioggia) cover the southern lagoon inlet and the town centre. They measure every 5 minutes.
| Station | Level | Status | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chioggia harbourInner Chioggia harbour, at the southern tip of the lagoon. | 54 cm 0.54 m | normal | 13 min ago (08:30) |
| Chioggia (Piazzetta Vigo)Gauge at the Piazzetta Vigo in Chioggia's historic centre. Meaningful for the calli around the Corso del Popolo. | 54 cm 0.54 m | normal | 13 min ago (08:30) |
| South breakwater ChioggiaSouth breakwater at the Chioggia inlet (Bocca di Chioggia). Third of the three lagoon gates. | 54 cm 0.54 m | normal | 13 min ago (08:30) |

Acqua alta in Chioggia
The old town of Chioggia sits on a flat island in the southern Venice lagoon. During high-water events (acqua alta) water stands in the lower calli, on the Corso del Popolo and at the Pescheria. Thresholds:
| Level above Punta Salute | Effect in Chioggia |
|---|---|
| < 80 cm | Normal. No disruption. |
| 80–110 cm | Low squares wet. Some calli wet. Walkways (“passerelle”) are set up. |
| 110–130 cm | Restricted access. Rubber boots recommended. Pescheria partly closed. |
| > 130 cm | Widespread flooding. The MOSE barrier is activated. Activities in the old town not possible. |
Acqua alta risk is seasonal: the main months are October, November and February — in summer (June–September) it rarely occurs. Forecasts come from the Centro Maree of the Comune di Venezia 48 hours ahead. For a detailed explanation see the acqua alta pillar page.
Wind and Sottomarina beach
The Sottomarina beach side lies 5 km east of the old town and is more exposed — direct Adriatic wind and occasionally strong bora from the north-east. Effect on a beach day:
| Level | km/h | Effect at Sottomarina |
|---|---|---|
| Light | < 15 | Perfect for a parasol. SUP and swimming no problem. |
| Moderate | 15–25 | Secure the parasol well. Waves roll in. |
| Fresh | 25–40 | Better to keep the parasol closed. Kiters and windsurfers have the advantage. |
| Bora storm | > 40 | Beach establishments often closed. Red flag. Boats stay in the harbour. |
Water quality and Blue Flag
Sottomarina again holds the FEE Blue Flag in 2026 for clean beaches and good water quality. The complete Veneto and Friuli list: Blue Flag overview 2026.
