Carnlough (GBCAH)

The harbour is popular with small vessels, though liable to be congested with local boats.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Carnlough is located at the N end of Carnlough Bay, on the NE coast of Ireland.

Carnlough Bay affords a safe anchorage in depths from 5.0-11.0m, sand and gravel, in offshore winds, but a vessel cannot ride here in strong winds from NNE to SSE.

It is recommended that the harbour should be approached from SE at approx half flood tide. The line of bearing 305° of the head of South Pier, passes SE of Black Rock which lies close off Straidkilly Point (54°59'N 005°58'W), when the entrance may be approached on a bearing of 310°
