description
Approach and maritime conditions: Strömsund in Väderöarna is an anchorage in the true sense of the word. Väderöarna is located out at sea, directly west of Fjällbacka. Here you are well protected from the weather along wooden quays or alongside the rocks. Mooring preferably on the west side of the sound, but it is also possible to moor on Storö's side for motorboats that do not require depth. The approach is not demanding either from the north or south, but be aware of some very shallow areas that are well marked on the chart. The name of the sound is not accidental, there can be a strong current to take into account if the weather comes from the north or south.
Väderöarna is extremely popular, and for good reason, because it is beautiful here! Therefore, you have to be prepared to find an alternative place for the night if you arrive late in the afternoon during the high season. You should also expect that some will want (demand) to berth several boats side by side here.
Anchoring: Mooring alongside on fixed wooden quays or alongside the rocks.
The area: Väderöarna has traces of having functioned as an emergency harbor for many hundreds of years. The east side of the sound is Storö. On Storö's southeast side, you will find a guest harbor with a kiosk, a restaurant, and not least a lot of tourists who are transported here by shuttle boat from Fjällbacka.
