description

Smuggler Cove looks totally unlikely as you approach. The entrance is narrow and fairly shallow with shoals on the south side. Unnerving, but actually not difficult or dangerous.

Once inside, the cove is well protected. There is an inner bay that is accessibly only by dinghy or shallow draft vessels at low tide.

There is limited room to swing, and almost everyone (I wish everyone) stern ties to one of the many anchor points on the shore.

At the inner end of the outer bay there is a rock right in the middle, 0.4m at chart datum. Otherwise the depths are 4 to 5 metres. This requires you to use limited scope and stern tie, limited scope (30 metres of rode) otherwise everyone's anchor would be on to of each other in the middle of the bay. The bottom is mud and shell with excellent holding.

There is an improved trail from the headland on the south side, past the head on the onlet and on.

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 -219 minutes ago (Tuesday 04 November 11:17 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.
