<p>Only about 2 km of land separates <a href="ssr:428005" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.52012" data-lng="5.50273" data-municipality="Tysvær" data-type="Fjord">Ålfjorden</a> from the bottom of <a href="ssr:1641" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.44048" data-lng="5.47999" data-municipality="Tysvær" data-type="Fjord">Grindafjorden</a> in <a href="ssr:813263" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.2275" data-lng="6.2472" data-municipality="Stavanger" data-type="Landskapsområde">Ryfylke</a>.<br>The land around the fjord, especially in the outer part, is high and forested. Beyond <a href="ssr:3327" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.59276" data-lng="5.57849" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Vik i sjø">Vikevik</a>, the terrain becomes gentler and largely without forest. The settlement is sparse and scattered, especially on the W side, but there are quite a few cottages, especially at the bottom of the fjord.<br>The current follows the tide in and out of the fjord, but the weather has a strong influence. Strong wind from the N gives S-going current and pushes up the water at the fjord bottom. Strong wind from the S gives N-going current which increases in speed N-ward, and at <a href="ssr:914106" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="59.70993" data-lng="5.50428" data-municipality="Sveio" data-type="Nes i sjø">Tittelsnes</a> it can be over 3 knots. Many eddies form along the coast.<br>In cold winters, the ice usually extends from the fjord bottom to <a href="ssr:3262" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="59.52683" data-lng="5.50769" data-municipality="Sveio" data-type="Nes i sjø">Buavikneset</a>, and the same occurs in all small coves.<br>The fjord is open and clear. N of <a href="ssr:609291" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.54038" data-lng="5.53301" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Holme i sjø">Nappholmen</a> lies a 4 m shoal without a marker. You pass W of the shoal with <a href="ssr:3262" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="59.52683" data-lng="5.50769" data-municipality="Sveio" data-type="Nes i sjø">Buavikneset</a> to <a href="ssr:448729" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.51332" data-lng="5.49384" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Nes i sjø">Nautatangen</a> and E of the shoal with the W-most, small skerry off <a href="ssr:731235" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.52479" data-lng="5.54882" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Vik i sjø">Haraldseidvågen</a>, W of <a href="ssr:609296" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.53732" data-lng="5.53454" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Nes i sjø">Toranes</a>, to <a href="ssr:226885" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.52971" data-lng="5.52155" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Nes i sjø">Arhamarneset</a>.<br>There are many good anchorage spots in <a href="ssr:428005" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.52012" data-lng="5.50273" data-municipality="Tysvær" data-type="Fjord">Ålfjorden</a>.</p>

<p>Bare ca. 2 km land skiller <a href="ssr:428005" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.52012" data-lng="5.50273" data-municipality="Tysvær" data-type="Fjord">Ålfjorden</a> fra bunnen av <a href="ssr:1641" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.44048" data-lng="5.47999" data-municipality="Tysvær" data-type="Fjord">Grindafjorden</a> i <a href="ssr:813263" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.2275" data-lng="6.2472" data-municipality="Stavanger" data-type="Landskapsområde">Ryfylke</a>.<br>Landet rundt fjorden, særlig i ytre delen, er høyt og skogkledd. Innenfor <a href="ssr:3327" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.59276" data-lng="5.57849" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Vik i sjø">Vikevik</a> blir det slakere, og for en stor del uten skog. Bebyggelsen er sparsom og spredt, særlig på W‑siden, men det er en god del hyttebebyggelse, spesielt inne i bunnen av fjorden.<br>Strømmen følger tidevannet inn og ut fjorden, men været har sterk innvirkning. Sterk vind fra N gir S‑gående strøm og stuer vannet opp i fjordbunnen. Sterk vind fra S gir N‑gående strøm som øker i fart N‑over, og ved <a href="ssr:632981" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="59.71463" data-lng="5.50819" data-municipality="Sveio" data-type="Bygdelag (bygd)">Tittelsnes</a> kan den ha over 3 knops fart. Det danner seg mange bakevjer langs land.<br>I kalde vintrer ligger isen vanligvis fra fjordbunnen til <a href="ssr:3262" data-county="Vestland" data-lat="59.52683" data-lng="5.50769" data-municipality="Sveio" data-type="Nes i sjø">Buavikneset</a>, det samme i alle småbuktene.<br>Fjorden er åpen og ren. N av <a href="ssr:609291" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.54038" data-lng="5.53301" data-municipality="Vindafjord" data-type="Holme i sjø">Nappholmen</a> ligger en 4 m grunne uten stake.
