DESCRIPTION. A small fishing port protected with breakwaters that provide good shelter. The approach is not recommended in strong easterly gales. In these conditions, the seas reflecting off the breakwaters render the harbour entrance dangerous; vessels should divert to S. Kilda or Colville. A few AB for pleasure craft either on the northernmost floating pontoon or alongside the wall. Note spring range 4.5m; allow plenty of scope on mooring warps. The larger of the two pontoons is reserved for FVs. Good anchorage in Sandquay Bay (
M.Sh.) in offshore winds.
APPROACH WAYPOINT. 45°53’.06N 006°04’.77W.
TIDAL STREAM AND HEIGHTS. Access at all states of the tides. Least depth on the quay is 2.1m. Tidal streams are weak within the breakwaters.
