description

Au nord de Veidileysufjorddur, il y a quatre bons mouillages situés au pied de la réserve naturelle du Hornstrandir. Le départ de la randonnée se trouve sur la côte nord, à 800 mètres avant la fin du fjord. Il est conseillé de bien calculer la marée avant d’y laisser son annexe.
• Mouillage A : 66° 21.0920' N / 022° 39.7894' W. Bien protégé des vents du sud, qui, en s’engouffrant dans le fjord, ont tendance à se renforcer. Ancrage par 5 à 10 mètres de fond, sur substrat de boue compacte mêlée d’algues.
• Mouillage B : 66° 21.6476' N / 022° 38.5654' W. Bien protégé des vents du nord. On ancre par 20 à 24 mètres de profondeur, sur une vase compacte de bonne tenue.
Attention : toute la côte nord du fjord, non cartographiée, n’est pas franche. Il ne faut pas s’en approcher à moins de 400 mètres.
• Mouillage C : 66° 21.4952' N / 022° 40.8493' W. Très beau mouillage au pied des cascades. On jette l’ancre par 6 à 7 mètres de fond.
• Mouillage D : 66° 21.6707' N / 022° 37.0813' W. C’est le mouillage le plus proche du départ de la randonnée.
Approche : la zone n’est pas cartographiée ; la côte nord n’étant pas franche, on accède au mouillage en restant au milieu du fjord. On ancre par 20 à 24 mètres de profondeur, sur une vase compacte. Par vent du nord, les deux vallées produisent un effet venturi qui ne se ressent pas au mouillage A.

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 2 hours and 31 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 July 01:19 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.
