In November 2024, Fryd Askøy opened its second floating sauna here, right on the guest pier. Booking at https://frydaskoy.no. There is a cold water shower and a bathing ladder right outside the sauna. Please be aware that there can be strong tidal currents here.

Well facilitated area. Important to fend properly, also to the floating dock, as there is a lot of traffic in the strait. We experienced that a neighboring boat had its fenders lifted onto the floating dock due to waves, and consequently, the boat hit the dock.

Easy arrival in the middle of the channel at Herdlesund/Herdla Bridge. Good depth at both quay and floating dock. You can also moor to the concrete quay at the innermost part of the harbor (on the inside of the floating dock, but preferably for slightly smaller boats due to quay length.
Mooring to quay or floating dock. The floating dock, in particular, is exposed to sea and wind from the south/southwest direction. When we were there, a gust of wind caused the floating dock to rock severely and waves to crash over the floating dock. This was at approximately 12 m/s in a south/southwest direction. Update: An additional floating dock has now been installed at the bunker quay, making the inner floating dock calmer.
There is a lot of war history at Herdla, in addition, there is a beautiful pebble beach on the west side, as well as a sandy beach at the grass field where the airport was.

New concrete floating dock and concrete quay. Approximately three boat lengths on each side of the floating dock. Possible to dock with a small boat at the innermost part of the inlet on the concrete dock.
The quay and floating dock are exposed to wind/waves from SW. We arrived with wind of 12-15 m/s from SW direction, and the floating dock was rocking heavily.
Cozy place with wartime history, including Herdla Airport which was a base for German planes, and numerous other traces from the war days.
Beautiful pebble beach and sandy beach on Herdla. Local providers offer activities such as paddling, windsurfing, canyoning/via ferrata.

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.
