description

Very beautiful anchorage, well protected. Drop the anchor in 4 to 5 meters on a sandy bottom offering good holding. The water is clear, and otters regularly swim around the boat.
You can moor your dinghy to the ladder of the small dock at the port, where fresh water is also available.
A walking trail goes all around the island, with access points on each side of the port. Grey seals are often visible in the northern bays.
A toilet, shower, and a kitchenette are available at the ferry terminal.
Although two ferries provide a daily connection with the main island, there are no shops on shore. This beautiful stopover is worth lingering.

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 47 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 01:17 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.
