Very nice place sheltered from southern directions, note that there are some stern waves from the traffic to Skjebergskilen from the Northeast.

Many good anchorage options. You can find good protection from winds from the west, south, and east. On the islet of Ballen, one can be partially sheltered from the north wind.

On Singløya there are wonderful hiking trails. Here the landowner has established a sculpture project that is about "connecting history with the present and future." Read more at singloya.no

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 ago (Wednesday 30 April 01:28 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.
