description

Ocean Harbour, also called New Fortuna Bay (not to be confused with Fortuna Bay), is a bay rich in history and natural beauty, offering good anchorage in rough seas.
You anchor in 9 to 11 meters of water, on a mix of sand and kelp.
However, under certain weather conditions, violent katabatic winds can push sailboats towards the shore. The wreck of the Bayard is a testament to this: torn from its anchor by a storm in 1911, it was thrown across the bay.
On the beach, remnants of the old whaling stations, which were active between 1909 and 1920, still remain.
This bay is also visited by cruise ships.

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 11 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 July 05:19 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.
