This is our home river and I've only once, in fifteen years, dropped the hook at The Cliffs (and that was due to engine problems). It is a surprisingly exposed location, especially in wind over tide conditions (ESE on the ebb, WNW on the flood) and there is literally nothing there. It is also subject to wash from passing motorboats who do not always slow down when passing anchored vessels. In all honesty, I have never understood why this particular spot is, and historically always has been, listed as a specific anchorage over anywhere else along the river! There are better places to anchor in the River Roach and Burnham Yacht Harbour (downriver) and Fambridge Yacht Station (upriver) offer better facilities and shore access albeit at a cost.

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 45 minutes ago (Wednesday 20 August 05:17 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.
