description
If you safely got into Ballinakill, this is where you likely have most comfort, particularly if you took in behind the headland. Sand and silty mud, and some weed. Multiple dinghy landing spots to the west toward the road. Not much in the way of services, so bring your own food. In southerly and Sw winds this is a comfortable spot. Otherwise go to Derryinver. There are about 6 County Council swing mooring buoys that are maintained annually here, that are a good option. Available at a minimum charge, call +353 (0)91 509000.

The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 2 hours and 16 minutes ago (Wednesday 11 June 01:19 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.

Fahy bay anchorage is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
