description
Good sandy bottom to anchor at 3-5 meters depth.
Surrounding lands to south and southwest are not that high, so they offer only a little of protection from winds.
Cantic head lighthouse is close by.
I waited here for a weather window to go around the Cape Wrath (NW corner of Scotland Mainland).

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 16 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 01:17 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.
