description
In strong easterly winds it becomes difficult to enter the bay an d the harbour. The entry is a little bit tricky and you should call the HM with VHF, because the high breakwaters hide the ships leaving the harbour. If the HM do not answer, make a call for all ships, that you enter or leave the harbour. Due to the wind farms there is some traffic. The harbour is surrounded by a nice Cafe', some Restaurants and severals pubs, 5-10 min to go. Supermarkets are far away (20-30 min). A walk around the bay is very nice. The people in the pub made me feel very welcome. The harbormaster was 2023 Ian Cormack and was very helpful. A near by museum about the history of Wick is very good.

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 4 hours and 15 minutes ago (Wednesday 15 January 01:16 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.
