description

Anchor in shelter within ruined harbour, there are submerged concrete constructions to the N and NW. Anchoring can also be done outside the harbour in suitable wind. It is not advised to tie up to the ruined harbour wall without good fendering. Land on the beach. The island is excellent to explore, with abandoned buildings and tunnels. Bring a torch for the tunnels. You will be attacked by birds, so bring an umbrella or paddle to wave.

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 59 minutes ago (Thursday 08 May 07:15 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.
