Descriptions and reviews

description

Ha'penny Pier, as it is known to locals, is two pontoons attached to a hammerhead on the South side of the actual pier. If it all possible, moor on the inside of the pontoons. The outside can be affected by swell and by wash from passing vessels. Beware of the fishing boat moorings between the pontoons and the sea wall and do not moor on the ferry landing or fishing boat unloading areas (clearly marked) Rafting is almost certain in busy periods. There is no power or water on the pontoon (there is a tap on the harbour wall to fill containers). Cannot be booked in advance and a diversion across the river to Shotley Marina is always an option. Avoid in severe weather - if the bridge span between the pontoons is lifted, the pier is effectively closed. The pier master is in attendance part time and the pontoon is free to use during the day (overnight charges apply, see website).

Facilities are basic but adequate. Harwich may at first glance appear unpreposessing but it is actually an attractive little town and there are numerous museums and historical sites to visit - we particularly recommend the walk along the shore to the Napoleonic era Rotunda (check opening times) and the best steaks we have ever eaten were served at The Alma (albeit it is some years since we last visited as I write this).

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 50 minutes ago (Thursday 19 June 05:19 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.
