Descriptions and reviews

description

There are really two parts to this anchorage: the area behind Musket Island, and the wider area not behind Musket Island, but still behind Fox Island.

This anchorage is not as protected from the winds as you might think. It looks protected from SE and NW, thd prevailing wind directions, but the wind is funnelled round by Jervis Inlet and can whistle in from the WSW.

The charts are inaccurate, wildly misleading, on the depths.

The outer area is 20metres or more deep, and with a tidal swing of 5metres you are looking at a really deep anchorage. Modest holding.

On the charts the area behind musket Island is marked as 2m or less. This is just plain wrong. It is 10 to 15m. Modest holding, and stern tie required. There are ring bolts set into the rock face on the NW side of the anchorage. Drop anchor close in to Musket island and back away to tie to the other side. This is great, but it does put you beam on to the WSW wind. There is room for about a dozen boats, and there are about that number of ring bolts available.

The little anchorage is picturesque, but looking to the NE you will see an active quarry.

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 -326 minutes ago (Monday 03 November 05:16 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.
