description
This is a very nice spot, well-protected from winds from all directions - except from the north. The holding ground is also good (soft clay). I measured 4.3 meters depth where I dropped the anchor (at low tide - at the end of the bay), and 5 meters in the middle of the inlet from the north. It is shallow on the west side at the innermost part of the bay. Otherwise, space is quite tight. I anchored bow-forward (16 meters) and used a stern line to the shore. In my experience, there was just enough space for my 31-foot boat.

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 2 hours and 20 minutes ago (Tuesday 17 June 04:28 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.
