description

In this reasonably deep bay there are 5 mooring buoys. The area was important during the World Wars for the British fleet. There is a museum about it, and there are many remnants on the shore. At the end of the quay there is a corner where the dinghy can lie and where you can get ashore via a ladder. In the museum (which is free) there is also a little cafe.

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 41 minutes ago (Friday 19 June 08:15 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.
