description
Tender bay is in an area of spectacular mountains. The bay itself has rocky cliffs and easier shores where you can go ashore. There is a walking trail that follows the creek up to Unwin Lake.
Most of the bay is deep except for a couple of little bays like this one. This is a popular area and there is not room to anchor. If you are anchoring in 15 metres of water with a 5 metre tide you need a lot of swing room. Instead, anchor and stern tie to one of the many anchor bolts along the east and south sides of the bay. The north side shoals. These are marked with bright yellow reflective marks.
If you find yourself using one of the most westerly rings you will be anchoring in 30 metres. To and to the normal fun of stern tying, there is a clockwise current in this bay at up to 1kn. Not much, but sufficient to add to the entertainment value of stern tying. Entertaining for people watching.

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 -51 minutes ago (Saturday 01 November 05:16 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 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.
