Approaching from the Elbe
Approaching the Old Harbor in Brunsbüttel can sometimes be a bit challenging due to lock traffic, the Elbe River, and the tide. Here you will find all the important information you need for the approach.
Description of the Approach
The entrance to our beautiful harbor lies between buoy 58a and breakwater 4 of the Kiel Canal (NOK) approach. A channel leads into the harbor, beginning with a port double-headed buoy and a starboard "Hamburg" buoy. The port buoys are the primary navigational aids; the starboard buoys serve as additional aids and should not be approached too closely.
The harbor floor, relative to the zero point of the "Brunsbüttel Mole 1" gauge, lies between approximately 250 cm (in spring) and 310 cm (in autumn). With a draft of 1.80 m, the harbor can be entered at a water level above 450 cm (510 cm in autumn). The graph below shows forecasts for individual water levels, indicating when the water level will reach 450 cm. (...) Further information and useful tips can be found at: Tide, Wind and Weather.

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 35 minutes ago (Thursday 05 February 12:27 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.
