When entering make sure you keep well clear of breakwater blocks .. some have dislodged into the water and are hidden .. stay at least 15m or so away from the breakwaters .. if no traffic - stay in centre of channel ... Coming in under Sail alone is prohibited but under extreme circumstances such as engine failure - advise harbour Master on VHF and ask permission. This is a commercial harbour and they may ask you to wait or even offer to bring you in under tow ! Yes its happened to me.
Note that due to the layout of the breakwaters - depending on winds up to and at time - the waters near the entrance can be rough and confused due to reflected waves etc ... once rounded and inside breakwater ends - stay to stbd (south side) of channel as per chart as this is Yachting channel. You will see the leading lights if at night ...
Head past the single pier on the right and the entrance to Fishing Harbour is clear after ... turn in and pass the Fishing boats - look to the right and you will see the Yachts. If your boat is under 30ft - the pontoons to the right as suitable - or head for the Baltic Moor places ... buoy at stern, V bow lines to shore. There are two heights of shore work - so pick whats best for you.
Please do not overload cleats with your lines as others next to you need the cleat as well ..
Note that it can get 'choppy' in the harbour as the winds can come over top of the buildings and drop into harbour causing some confused waters ... but generally is good.
I live in Ventspils and always available if anyone needs assistance ... I am also the Cruising Association Local Representative for Latvian West Coast. Harbour Office has my contacts ..

You have to inform the port control via VHF when you enter and leave.
In the dark it was kinda difficult to navigate to the guest harbour. You have to cross the industrial port and there are a lot of bright lights. The entrance to the marina is marked with a green light, but the bright lights from the factory buildings made the entry hard to spot, so navigate carefully in the dark. It is very easy to find at daylight.
There are some mooring spots an some spots at the pier. The harbour office is very friendly. Call them in advance if you arrive late, they will give you the code for the toilets and showers. They are very helpful, if you need some gas (diesel) from the next fuelstop. You cannot get diesel right at the harbour. Showers and toilets were clean and in good shape.
The walk to the city centre is about 30 minutes.

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 44 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 04:27 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.
