description

Gaukværøy had as many as 120 inhabitants at the beginning of the 1900s. A plaque has been erected that tells the history of the place. Now, only the cellar ruins of the houses that stood on the island remain. The island was deserted by the last inhabitants shortly after the war, and due to a shortage of materials, the houses were dismantled and moved to the mainland. Therefore, no wood remains on the house sites. There is a path along the entire outer side of the island, which leads between the three settlements that were here. If you climb up one of the peaks or the saddle between them, you can see towards Bø and Hadseløya.

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 19 minutes ago (Thursday 05 December 10:28 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 directions for this harbour was added at 6. Aug 2023. Click here to edit.

Gaukværøy 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.
