Byfjorden

| description_en |
<p>The deep and clear <a href="ssr:613525" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.4233" data-lng="5.2682" data-municipality="Bergen" data-type="Fjord">Byfjorden</a> has few good anchorages north of Bergen. The landscape is high, partly forested with fairly dense villa development.</p>
<p>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 <a href="ssr:855504" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.43999" data-lng="5.20933" data-municipality="Askøy" data-type="Øy i sjø">Askøy</a>. At <a href="ssr:248396" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.46479" data-lng="5.23098" data-municipality="Askøy" data-type="Nes i sjø">Straumsneset</a>, the current can reach speeds of a couple of knots.</p>

<p>Den dype og rene <a href="ssr:613525" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.4233" data-lng="5.2682" data-municipality="Bergen" data-type="Fjord">Byfjorden</a> har få gode ankerplasser N for Bergen. Landskapet er høyt, dels skogkledd med nokså tett villabebyggelse.</p>
<p>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 <a href="ssr:855504" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.43999" data-lng="5.20933" data-municipality="Askøy" data-type="Øy i sjø">Askøy</a>. Ved <a href="ssr:248396" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="60.46479" data-lng="5.23098" data-municipality="Askøy" data-type="Nes i sjø">Straumsneset</a> kan strømmen nå opp i et par knops fart.</p>
