description

Good harbor and well protected. Water and electricity on the floating dock. The outermost floating dock, which functions as a breakwater, is exposed to waves in southern winds. Currently, it is not permitted to moor there due to damage. Coop store with a good selection, considering it is such a small place, is only a 5-minute walk from the harbor. The harbor office is staffed from 09:00 to 10:30. Like most of these small islands in the Hebrides, Barra also has its own small airport with connections to Glasgow. There is a car ferry to Oban.

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 10 minutes ago (Sunday 09 August 01:16 AM). 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.
