description
Approach and Maritime Conditions: From the north/east side of Lurefjorden, one can find the way into a system of coves, bays, straits, and islets. Be aware that some currents can set in the strait between Ådnøy and Engholmen.
Inside the coves, there are many unmarked shoals and reefs that barely rise above the water. They are marked on charts, but there are no stakes. The charted positions also differ somewhat from their actual locations.
One should not attempt to navigate through Veråsstraumen except with a dinghy due to the shallow depth in the current. There is also at times very strong tidal current here.
Anchoring: Either anchor towards land or swing freely. In a few places, it is possible to moor alongside with good/large fenders.
Plenty of places to moor. Inside, you will find sheltered spots regardless of wind direction. Good holding ground for anchors with varying bottoms from sand to mud.
There are no bolts in the rocks, so bringing your own is necessary. In some places, you can tie to trees.
Depths vary from 1-2 meters to approximately 30 meters.
The Area: Many nice and sheltered bays. In several places, there are grassy slopes and gravel beaches with beautiful sandy bottoms.
There is some vegetation in the form of heather and trees, in some places spruce trees.
It is possible to explore Lindåspollene all the way to Lindåsbrygge (where you can walk to a store), Vågseidestranda, and Lindås Sluse via Veråsstrømmen, but only small boats should attempt to go through the current. It becomes like a fast-flowing river when the tide turns, and there is also a shallow area at the outlet on the Lindås side that lies in the natural path of travel. Be aware.
