description
Très beau mouillage atypique, protégé par un cordon littoral s’étendant sur plus de 3 milles nautiques. Ce cordon, composé de sable, s’est formé en remplacement de l’estran tel que représenté sur les cartes marines, offrant une bonne protection contre la houle de secteur sud. À l’extrémité de ce cordon, plusieurs colonies de morses sont fréquemment observées.
Approche : le courant du chenal peut être assez vif. De H-3 à H+3 par rapport à la pleine mer, le flot porte vers le nord.
Mouillage : on mouille par 5 à 6 mètres d’eau, sur fond de sable, à environ 3 encablures à l’ouest du phare, sensiblement à mi-distance entre celui-ci et l’extrémité ouest de la péninsule.

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 15 minutes ago (Saturday 14 June 11:13 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.
