Weather-based comfort scores for BVI anchorages. Know which spots offer shelter from wind and swell before you drop anchor.

Each anchorage is scored hourly based on forecast wind speed, wind direction relative to the anchorage’s exposure, and swell conditions. Scores reflect how protected or exposed the anchorage is likely to feel.
Protected means well-sheltered \u2014 comfortable anchoring conditions. Acceptable means some motion but manageable. Rolly means uncomfortable. Avoid means exposed and potentially dangerous.
These are planning signals based on forecast data, not guarantees. Always use judgment and local knowledge.
