The area is known for varying weather, from the mirror-shaded sea to storm and hurricane. In a short time, fog can cross the Kjerringa and the Western Cape. The sea road around Stad and Vestkapp is notorious for its currents and rapidly changing weather. Many ships have even gone through these waters, which are referred to as one of the most hardy areas in Norway.

On the few kilometers from the herring map in the south to Ervik in the north, a total of 58 shipwrecks are located.
