description

See Samsø Ballen harbour for a description of the harbour itself. But there is a great strip outside the harbour to anchor on a sandy bottom as elsewhere in Denmark. There is a depth of 2-3 meters and it is shallow. You are undeniably exposed to the wind here, but you lie well in stable westerly winds, though if the wind shifts too far to the NE or SW, you will quickly notice the area's short, choppy waves.

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 1 hour and 9 minutes ago (Monday 21 September 09:29 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.
