The anchorage is over sand with good holding. I stay there often. Some swell should not be an issue. Sometimes the wind can be very gusty. Very good snorkelling off the back of the boat all the way to the dive site. No amenities on shore. I think that the beach is rocky

With a violent thunderstorm you will get wind from multiple directions as it moves through. The prevailing wind is not a indication of direction of the winds you get out of a Tstorm. I have been at Cooper in dead calm conditions and 5 minutes later had 5 foot waves breaking on the beach. Same in White Bay. The mountain point area is completely exposed for at least 180 degrees with a long fetch. G

George - We experienced this exact phenomenon in early November while moored at Kelly's Cove, Norman Island. Had a typical quiet sunset tucked in behind the point. From midnight to near dawn severe t-storms very slowly moved through. Wind shifted 180 and we were suddenly on a very, very close lee shore with 4+ foot swells coming in across the fetch from Ram Head, St John. All the skippers in the cove were on deck with flashlights throughout the night until dawn came and it just as quickly settled down.
