description
Good anchorage 5-6 m. Clear approach according to the chart. A bit open towards SW, otherwise well sheltered.
4-5 private buoys with moored boats took up quite a bit of space, but enough left for 2-3 at anchor.
Did not go ashore, therefore the area is not assessed.

Anchoring on mud with some kelp.
Two entrances around the small island. South path is recommended on maps, north path seems ok, too.

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 38 minutes ago (Saturday 13 June 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.

Foreholmen 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.
