The outer harbor can get uncomfortable in strong on-shore winds.
The harbor can be entered day or night (weather conditions permitting).
Beware of the compass variations that can occur in this area.
Svaneke Lighthouse is located on Sandkaas Odde and will guide boats in during approach. Steer to the north in the white angle of the harbor light until the harbor's leading lights guide the boat in at 297 degrees. Be careful: If the approach is made from due east of the leading lights, boats are led through the skerries at Maageflak SE of the harbor.
The approach is prohibited if a black ball is displayed or 3 vertical red lights are shining on the mast north of the harbor. The harbor gate to the inner harbor is closed if a fixed white light is shining under the lower light of the leading lights. The current in the approach channel is rarely important.
