Great video, been there myself in OBX same spot. For all the folks talking trash on this thread, they don't seem to understand its does not take much to get your boat sideways and then you capsize or take on so much water you are putty much finished.
I often cross a stretch of water that is not to dissimilar to this. I insist that all occupant wear a life jacket, each with its own locator beacon. In addition I have attached to my jacket a portable VHF waterproof radio, an LED distress flare that is to bright to look at and a packet of sea dye marker. I have no issues with taking risks but I do all I can to ensure no one dies if it all turns to shit
Nothing but respect for that Oregon inlet fleet. I take charters out of there often and it can be a ass Puckering experience getting out of the there lol
Hatteras and Ocracoke inlets can get just as nasty with a SE swell, what people fail to get is that when these inlets get bad, no sane person goes out of 'em. (And the Coasties are nucking futs!)
Omg I didn't realize you have to go through a surf zone!?? That's so dangerous!! A million things can go wrong that you have no control over not to mention all the things that can go wrong that you can screw up yourself..
I've never been to Oregon inlet, but I frequent jupiter. Once out of Jupiter if you go north or south right away you can avoid alot of the crap. Not sure theres that option here.
Na buddy trust me Oregon inlet is one of the roughest on the east coast. Only 7or 8 ft of water in the channel on a good day w shoals on both sides. Outgoing tide runs @6-7 knots and stands the waves straight up . We bump bottom all the time when the bow is up on a wave in that hell hole ! Carolina customs look the way they do with the huge bow flare for a reason !!
LOL. Outrageous is the name of the Boston Whaler we were in. 🤣🤣. Inlet is shallow and constantly shifting coupled with an outgoing tide with NE winds made it crazy. The 60 footer in front of our 32 footer stuffed his nose through the same waves going out earlier that day( we did as well but it was dark at odarkthirty. 😭😭.

What does the measurement on the left that keeps changing indicate?
Depth beneath hull
Why do that in such a small boat with no cuddy?
Yikes, gotta time it just right. Can't imagine ride in

Was that a box of tissues on the dash...?
Yes to wipe their @#s with
Ya, so?
glad we don't have to deal with shit like that here in Bodega bay where I'm from.
Bodega is beautiful... always calm. Good thing for seal rock.
And we complain about Barnegat Inlet all the time! Holy Crap
Fun on a 35knt. boat , what would it be like it in an 8knt. trawler???
Not fun you would need to be a good captain.
tricky
Try Jupiter FL inlet.

Dangerous place
Very average...
that's average, not outrageous
LOL. Boat name is Outrageous!!
😆
I'm was waiting to see this outrageous inlet you clowns are talking about but, it never materialized. A real nothing burger here.
