Descriptions and reviews

Andrew Lindsay says:

description

A friendly, welcoming safe haven and eco-port set in one of the most beautiful locations in the south west.

The Harbour reaches from the sea all the way up to Kingsbridge and its high water quality and peaceful surroundings are enjoyed by a number of water users: bathers, canoeists, stand-up paddleboards, dinghies, yawls, yachts, power boats and super yachts.

The harbour lies between Bolt Head to the west and Prawle Point to the east. Salcombe’s Bar, made famous in Tennyson’s “Crossing of the Bar”, stretches south westerly across the entrance from Limebury Point on the east side. This sand bar has a least depth of 0.5 metres LAT and should not be negotiated on an ebb tide with strong onshore winds or swell.

The entrance leading line (000°T) is marked by a red and white striped pole with red topmark on the Poundstone Rock, with a second beacon behind it on Sandhill Point, which is white with a horizontally striped red and white diamond topmark. The rear beacon displays a Directional Flashing light WRG.2s, of which the white sector 357°-002°T shows the leading line. Once Blackstone Rock is abeam to starboard, the main fairway course of 042°T can be set, marked by transit lights near to Scoble Point. The navigable channel through the turn from 000 T to 045 T is marked by six lateral buoys. Three port hand buoys at Bass Rock, Poundstone and Castle with FL.R.5s lights and three starboard hand buoys at Wolf Rock, Blackstone South and Blackstone North with FL.G.5s lights.

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 3 hours and 38 minutes ago (Friday 20 June 05:24 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.
