description
Gunnsvick-viken bay is a very shelter bay perfect for mooring in any wind condition.
Note: Locals call it "Herrestaviken" which is the name of the Laguna west of Gunnsvick-viken even if the Laguna cannot be reached by boot.
There is plenty of room in a depth that is always over 3.5m.
Most boats moor with anchor but some prefer to tie to land with aft anchor. Only two small sections of the bay are suitable for that type mooring.
It remains deep even very lose to the land.
The shelter offered by the bay is excellent with no waves at all and little wind, most of it being damped by the high tree around.
The down side is that it's a popular place and you are unlikely going to be alone.

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 35 minutes ago (Tuesday 03 June 11:27 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.
