I’m so glad I don’t boat in an area where I would have to cross a bar regularly. This kind of stuff would scare me to death in my slow boat.
The prudent thing to do is not to attempt a bar crossing in conditions like this obviously, but I suppose for a smaller boat staying out at sea until the tide changes may not be an option?
The closest Gulf inlet I have on Longboat Key (Longboat Pass) has breaking waves all around it on many days it seems, and I’ve been too sacred to try it. I want to test it out with someone who has experience first.
