Descriptions and reviews

Stefan Esaiassen says:

description

Approach and Maritime Conditions: Vettøya is situated in the channel just south of Helnesund in Steigen. There are several routes to follow, but numerous islets, shoals, and reefs require careful navigation by chart plotter and visual observation. Anchoring is possible here, although space at a reasonable depth is limited if the buoy on the east side of the island is in use. If available, it is recommended for convenience.
Anchorage: 5-10m

A KNBF buoy is located in the bay to the east of Vettøya. It is also possible to anchor, but space is limited if you wish to anchor at a reasonable depth. You are well protected from the sea between the islets and reefs, although it can get quite windy as is common in this area.
The Area: Once ashore, there are a couple of beaches and opportunities for good views if you climb a bit higher. Remnants of military installations from the war days can be found. It's a short distance to Helnesund if you need to resupply.

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 1 hour and 36 minutes ago (Saturday 12 July 12:28 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.
