description
This is a great but very exposed anchorage that requires good weather. The seabed for anchoring is very variable, so be prepared to re-anchor as the anchor may slip. There is a lot of seaweed in the area. It is exposed to wind and there are tidal currents in different directions. There may also be waves in the harbor with winds from the southeast.

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 31 timer siden (Thursday 25 June 11:15 AM). 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.
