Beautiful and well-protected anchorage. The protection from the swell from the North Sea is good. The holding is good. Depth around 15 meters. Navigating into the bay is easy in the daytime with visible navigational buoys.

Good anchorage at 16-17 meters of sand and mud, well protected. With 30 knots of southwest wind, no swell would enter. However, in strong wind, katabatic winds sweep across the water.
Approach: The alignment of the channel, marked by two thin red bands, is not very visible in poor visibility.
Beautiful fine sandy beach where it may be possible to ground a centerboard boat.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Well-marked approach. The harbor provides very good protection against the open sea. There are opportunities for water refilling at the guest pier, which is located behind a small breakwater inside the large harbor.
Anchoring: The entire area within the large and well-protected breakwater is very well suited for anchoring. There is a good sandy bottom, with good holding. Anchoring depth 10-15 meters
The area: A great starting point for beautiful mountain hikes on Stadlandet. The perfect stopover if you want to split the sailing over Stadt into several stages, or as a safe harbor if you encounter bad weather on your journey.
