The deep and clear Byfjorden has few good anchorages north of Bergen. The landscape is high, partly forested with fairly dense villa development.

\n

The tidal currents flow northward on rising water and southward on falling water. They are not particularly strong, and the outflow of brackish water (especially during snowmelt) and wind-driven currents can dominate. The northward current is most pronounced along the Bergens Peninsula, while the southward current is most pronounced along Askøy. At Straumsneset, the current can reach speeds of a couple of knots.

\n

 

\n

The tidal currents in Byfjorden flow inward towards Salhusfjorden and the fjords around Osterøy on rising water and in the opposite direction on falling water.

", "description_no":"

Den dype og rene Byfjorden har få gode ankerplasser N for Bergen. Landskapet er høyt, dels skogkledd med nokså tett villabebyggelse.

\n

Tidevannsstrømmene går N-over på stigende vann og S-over på fallende vann. De er ikke særlig sterke og utstrømming av brakkvann (særlig under snøsmeltingen) og vinddrevne strømmer kan dominere. N-gående strøm er mest markert langs Bergenshalvøya mens S-gående strøm er mest markert langs Askøy. Ved Straumsneset kan strømmen nå opp i et par knops fart.

\n

Tidevannsstrømmene i Byfjorden går på stigende vann innover mot Salhusfjorden og fjordene rundt Osterøy, og motsatt retning på fallenede vann.
