description
Very convenient anchorage when the wind shifts to the north. Anchor in 14 to 16 meters on a rocky bottom. Beyond 20 knots of wind, the swell can circumvent the island and cause some rolling.
Landing: at low tide, the west beach is more regular, but composed of large, very slippery round stones. The east beach, on the other hand, is made of pebbles, but its lower part consists of large, angular rocks.
The islands are magnificent. Very beautiful hike on Eilean a’ Tighe, while the one on Garbh Eilean is more technical.
However, this anchorage is not recommended when the wind is shifting.

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 41 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 01:17 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 Elean A Tighe, as well as statistics about the ships that visits
