description
Arrived in the dark and found good holding in 7m of water (sand). Light winds from the NE (approx. 5 m/s), with some (very minor) gusts coming through the small valley to the E of the boat. Closer to the beach looks more calm, but we didn’t want to trust the chart too much in the dark, so we kept our distance.
In the right conditions this is a wonderful anchorage, but it is exposed to the SW. I would not want to be here on the wrong day.
Also a nice access point for hiking to the summit of Lovund.

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 41 minutes ago (Wednesday 12 August 07:30 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.

Nøvvika is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
The visits are retrieved from AIS data. You can click to see all visiting ships to Nøvvika, as well as statistics about the ships that visits
