Answer

What makes harbours like Port d'Andratx unsafe in stormy weather?

Harbours such as Port d'Andratx can become dangerous when strong wind drives large waves into the breakwater and boats start pitching heavily. Moorings, ropes and harbour equipment can be stressed or damaged very quickly. Even walking near the water can be unsafe when the sea is rough.
