The old ferry quay is not maintained. It is now privately owned. I docked there in August with a sailboat to visit the church. However, the pier is not generally recommended. The entrance to the small boat harbor is frequently filled with sand and thus very shallow. The church from the 12th century is one of the places on the coastal pilgrimage route from Egersund to Nidaros.

description
There is a floating pier at the innermost part of the harbor, NE, by the clubhouse. There are some shoals within the breakwater and the entrance, these are marked. It is also somewhat shallow inside the harbor itself. Have not seen sailboats in here. The old ferry dock, from when there were ferries to Ålesund, is maintained by the small boat association, and keelboats can dock there. Nice and calm harbor with access to sun all year round, as long as the sky is clear, and it peeks over the horizon. The toilet is located by the church, outside the walls, NW of the harbor. Children and adults swim within the breakwater, warm water and a beautiful sandy beach. Giske Church is worth a visit; in recent years it has been open on Thursdays and is part of the churches along the pilgrimage route, by sea and by land. NW on the island is the Makkvika Nature Reserve, which is suitable for an excursion. In July, you can experience the Giskespelet, which takes place in an outdoor amphitheater, a stone's throw from the harbor, to the west. Alternatively, Ocean Sound Records is on the north side of the island, near Makkvika. There is also an annual music festival here, in the area just north of the bridge. There are no shops on the island; the nearest is on Valderøya, where you can walk/cycle over the bridge.

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.
