description

Waiatt Bay, everything behind the Octopus Islands, is a big anchorage. It is not particularly deep, between 6m at the west end up to 10m in the NE corner, more in the SE corner. Good holding over mud, and lots to explore.

There are two ways into Waiatt Bay: the narrow channel from Bodega Bay to the NE, and the maze of islands and skerries of the Octopus Islands. The maze is sort of fun, if a little nerve wracking. The narrow channel is never less than 3metres deep, so is the preferred way in. And of course, to get here you have to negotiate one of the three tidal gates of the complex channels.

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 -103 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.
