Descriptions and reviews

description

It is better protected here than one would think, both from wind and waves. One of the better harbors in the area, with relatively good space. The bay is often used as a stopover for cruise ships en route from Longyearbyen.

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 25 minutes ago (Tuesday 17 June 03:13 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.

The safe directions for this harbour was added at 5. Jun 2025. Click here to edit.

Skansbukta 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.
