description

Upernavik, with a population of about 1,050 inhabitants, is the northernmost town in Greenland. It serves as the main gathering point for boats before they set out on the Northwest Passage. Even though one can never be certain to find everything needed, with a bit of luck, one can reasonably expect to solve most common problems there.
There are three nautical hardware stores, propane, diesel, and gasoline available at the dock, a supermarket, a hospital, a dentist, and an airport served by domestic flights.
The port has two docks and in its northern part, an anchorage area that can accommodate several sailboats. Anchoring is at 7 to 15 meters on a rock and mud bottom, with the possibility of tying a line ashore if the number of yachts at anchor increases.
When weather conditions deteriorate, it is preferable to anchor to the northeast of the island, in the excellent anchorage of Aorrussaarssuk.

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 -25 minutes ago (Thursday 09 July 06:19 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.
