description_en <p>North of inner Sula, the &Aring;fjord extends approximately 11 nautical miles eastward. At its innermost point, it splits into two arms, S&oslash;rfjorden and Hyllestadfjorden. The fjord is clean and deep with few good harbors. The landscape on the north side is relatively low. Further in, it becomes steeper, with the fjord's south side turning into sheer, desolate stretches.<br />Small vessels are warned against staying too close to the mountainside, as there is a risk of rockfalls. Along the low part of the fjord's side, the terrain is relatively lush.<br />In &Aring;fjorden, including S&oslash;rfjorden and Hyllestadfjorden, no strong tidal currents are observed.<br />During northwesterly winds, the incoming current is strongest along the south side of the fjord, and the outgoing current is strongest along the north side. During southwesterly winds, the opposite is true. Southerly winds are the most troublesome, as they often result in strong gusts from the mountains.</p>
description_no <p>N for indre Sula strekker &Aring;fjorden seg ca 11 n mil E‑over. Innerst deler den seg i to armer, S&oslash;rfjorden og Hyllestadfjorden. Fjorden er ren og dyp med f&aring; gode havner. Landskapet p&aring; N‑siden er forholdsvis lavt. Lengre inne blir det brattere og fjorden g&aring;r p&aring; S‑siden over i stupbratte, &oslash;de strekninger.<br />Sm&aring;fart&oslash;yer advares mot holde for n&aelig;r fjellsiden, da det kan v&aelig;re fare for steinsprang. Langs den lave delen av fjordsiden er det forholdsvis frodig.<br />I &Aring;fjorden med S&oslash;rfjorden og Hyllestadfjorden merkes ingen sterk tidevannsstr&oslash;m.<br />Under NW‑lig vind er inng&aring;ende str&oslash;m sterkest langs S‑siden av fjorden og utg&aring;ende sterkest langs N‑siden. Under SW‑lig vind er det motsatte tilfellet. Det er S‑lig vind som er mest sjenerende, da det gjerne blir sterk kastevind fra fjellene.</p>
