Shelter by wind direction

Sheltered from every direction.

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Here, shelter depends on tonight's wind. Seadromy reads the forecast and tells you before you leave.

Good holding.

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 1.2 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.

port vieux lies in the protected area Parc national des Calanques (aire d'adhésion): check its rules (anchoring, speed, buoys) before you arrive.

Posidonia seagrass is present: drop the anchor on sand only.
