description
Must keep a straight tongue to navigate all the way into this lagoon. The seabed is good sand, but there is also a lot of seaweed and kelp on the bottom, so one can be unlucky with anchor placement. Although this seemingly is a safe place, it can become somewhat choppy in here when the southwest wind blows. Not much room for maneuver if you need to get out when it starts blowing. But what a spot!! Not a bad idea to run a line ashore if staying overnight. From the south: Head north towards Kjeldsund leirskole. By the bridge, head directly east towards Hestholmen. Here, there is a narrow passage into a relatively large basin. Then veer northeast and take an 18-degree turn towards the south and enter the lagoon north of Bakarholmen. On a couple of occasions, during high tide, I have navigated between the islets that protect the large lagoon. Slow speed is required, and preferably with someone keeping watch at the bow. A bow thruster and depth sounder are very helpful here.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 2 hours and 9 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 05:28 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
The visits are retrieved from AIS data. You can click to see all visiting ships to Bakarholmen lagune, as well as statistics about the ships that visits
