For those who don’t know what they are looking at: This is an inlet, where boats come in an out from the bay to the ocean or from the ocean to the bay. This narrow spot squeezes the water into a tighter area pushing the water in faster. As high and low tide begin to come in, the water is squeezed even tighter, causing these big rough waves you see which can destroy your boat if you’re not careful. It may not look that bad, but if you lose control of your boat, the water will push you directly into the rocks or capsize your boat.
2:05 I give him credit for not letting his pride get in the way of making the right call to change plans. All of these captains should require lifejackets of all passengers crossings bars.
I understand this is about boats going & coming through the inlet, but does anybody catch any fish from rocks, jetty w/all this boat traffic, I also understand fish are probably used to it, but would like to see a catch once to see what's in there !
Those Tri-Hull boats are really stable but you can take a beating in rough water. Our family used to have a 1970 Arrowglass Cheetah tri-hull when I was growing up. great boat.
Love the Coast Guard at 7:30, they all looked like bobbleheads.. In all seriousness, we don't criticize when they save lives !!!! They make very little money a year for their service unfortunately.. Thanks ZipZap love your work..
I LOVE these vids. Moved back to MN from FL 2 yrs ago. These make me wistful. But I've got a new 1yr old grandson to make it worth it! I'll be visiting next winter for sure.
Coast guard: Do you have a life jacket for that kid? Captain of boat: Can we get out the inlet first jackass? Guy on jet ski with his tinder date: Did some say jackass?
Just be careful not to be caught off guard by a following wave, a fast following wave can sometimes sneak in under your transom and lift it. Then your bow will typically cut either way going down the wave and you'll end up swamped from behind or capsized to the side. Raised motors and bow up is good but it's safer for most people to travel with good power a bit faster than the waves, and to stay on the power to keep the bow up.
I can’t believe how many people are driving thru the inlet with LINES AND FENDERS handing from the side of the boat! Put your lines in when you leave the dock people! Krykeeeee!
I got one of those and there is no bloody way i would take it out in that sea state, its bad enough in dead calm!!!! sayin that, he could have fitted a bigger engine, 25hp aint gonna cut it!
If your going with the current, matching speed isn't enough. You must overpower the current to maintain control of the boat. The current / waves coming at you should be taken head on and as slow as you can being carefull not to poke the nose of the boat into the next wave or belly flopping your hull. Stopping is usually not an option. It could be the camera lens / angle, but it seemed some of these boaters were way to close to each other... Includeing the CG.
I have a smaller boat of the one at like 8:40ish, it’s insanely light for its size therefore sucks at handling waves, but going against the waves I put the bow up and plow through it, coming in however I usually surf the wave until it dies down a little then get over it, but I can if it’s not cranking waves too hard put my bow all the way down with the throttle wide open plow thru everything pretty well
...and 16' is being extremely generous. That looks to be 12' to 14' with a Johnson 9.9hp -15 hp - w/a pretty sweet Bimini top that will detach and trap them underwater when she rolls.
Reminds me of the time I took my 16 foot runabout out through Indian River Outlet in Delaware. Seas were running around eight foot swells. Took me all of about five minutes to decide that the sea was not where I wanted to be. Learned real fast how to properly come in on a following sea too!
A few cases of "all the gear and no idea". We get the same here in Australia, those guys wearing special fishing apparel that don't know how to follow on the back of a wave are generally an indicator of someone who will be a rescue case.
Was out there today, had some fun with GP1800, just got it, awesome ski. Inlet is always fun, keep an eye out for a white and black 40FT contender, named Reel Fortunate😉
We used to jump off that bridge on out going tide ... look to see that there were no boats coming. Flood tide was no good, would bring into the bay and then there was no way of getting out ... on out going tide, could always swim to the jetty way before the opening
My God....this is December? This time of year my roof is creaking with 2 feet of snow on it, ice is forming in the gutters and the snowblower needs gas.......sigh.... : (
Really soothing video with the sound of the water against the hulls. Although I'm appalled at the lack of life jackets on like 99% of the people. Why is that? I'm a boater and always wear a life jacket.
@@ZipZapPower Talk about fast and loose, come up to Lake St. Clair, MI on a summer Saturday or Sunday. Sundays are the scariest because all the "amatuer" Captains are out drinking and partying and few passengers wear life preservers. I prefer stay docked and read.
Love the videos! Keep them coming. I know you've got a mix of everything in a lot of your videos and some special specific videos aka ski's only, power boats only, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing more fishing specific videos like center consoles only or sport fishing yachts only. Kinda interested to see how big the sportfishers can get down there and the size range on them. In Destin where I usually vacate they've got anywhere between the 30 footers on up to the 80 and 90 footers
I love your videos but damn it can be frustrating, I would like to see what ends up happening in some of these instances, like when the 2 people are knocked off the jetski.....
Thanks, I'll explain why i don't usally show the outcome in the video... 99.999% of the time, the people fight the current for seveal minutes to get back to the ski and then climb back on. If anything interesting happens like a shark or the ski sinks, I will post that... no sharks or sinking yet. I think I have one video on YT of the ppl being pulled up on a police boat.
Definitely not a inlet for low profile hull boats. I like to see how the different boats handle the waves. Some seem to lack the understanding on how to run into the waves. The blimp got through just fine.
This Video also demonstrates how Outboard Brackets dunk the motor nearly underwater at times, making any heavier seas a real potenial danger to having the motor injesting seawater and conching out in the middle of it all. You will note this attitude if you watch this video again while paying close attention to the Engine and the wash overcoming it frequently.
5:05 u already know what these guys are up to ;)
what is that
fishing?
I don't know yet what they are up to.
Wdym they aren’t doing anything
Then a blimp watches from above
That jet ski lmao right in front of the coast guard too hahahah
ahhahahh he is the stupiest in Miami
That girl had to have gotten hurt
I have spent many hours at Manasquan Inlet in Jersey watching the parade of boats coming and going.Better than most boat shows.Thanks for posting.
you're welcome, happy you enjoy!
These extended versions with multiple boats are my favorite.
I think this is the way I'm gonna go from now on, at least for the smaller boats.
John Doe Now for some real inlet wawes, go watch this th-cam.com/video/3la_Dl30HkU/w-d-xo.html

No shit
@@nate199813 ikr
It is a river. So you have current flowing out and waves pushing in. That is what makes it dangerous.
Good old Venturi effect, it can be more dangerous than bar crossings with bigger swell.
Thanks for the clear explanation. 👍
getting sideways in the inlet is how u get killed
no screwing around you give her shit the tides cause a wild ride, freshwater guys like me get educated fast
No idea why that little boat with two guys turned around, they were pretty much through the worst of it. Like you said, that was a terrible decision.
Jared Grass I don’t think killed is the right word
Wife beaters were tell tale sign
Lmao at that muppet on the JetSki. I bet the Coast Guard guys had a laugh on that one.
The boat at 9:50 handled the waves the best.
2:05 I give him credit for not letting his pride get in the way of making the right call to change plans. All of these captains should require lifejackets of all passengers crossings bars.
BandB1111111 he was going to slow,don’t let Mother Nature beat you

How could anybody not like these videos?
That struggling lil glassmaster with the 40 hp Johnson made my day
Those Tri-Hull boats are really stable but you can take a beating in rough water. Our family used to have a 1970 Arrowglass Cheetah tri-hull when I was growing up. great boat.
One thing I've learned over my Nautical experience. There are boat captains and the rest are people who own a boat lol
I love the waves your Haulover cracks up on the run out tide! Keep em coming :)!
Just discovered this Inlet place online... great place to sit with a beer and watch the fun.
I love how he takes a break from the boats to look at the blimp and the last plane!
thanks for noticing! you've got to mix it up to give you a sense of what else is going on at the inlet..
The best part is the jet ski lawn darting right in front of the cops lol!FLOP,EJECTED,LOL!
Love the Coast Guard at 7:30, they all looked like bobbleheads.. In all seriousness, we don't criticize when they save lives !!!! They make very little money a year for their service unfortunately.. Thanks ZipZap love your work..
What is the Coast guard thinking???...."Hey, cut your power as you go into the inlet, we want to talk to you...." F that.
That's what I'm saying. I'll see you guys on the other side
I love how smooth the coast guard hit it
I have no idea what I'm watching, but I love pirate ships.
Good lesson on the difference of "speed over ground" and "speed through water"
I LOVE these vids. Moved back to MN from FL 2 yrs ago. These make me wistful. But I've got a new 1yr old grandson to make it worth it! I'll be visiting next winter for sure.
That first boat cut through like flat water hahah good yab
First boat knows how to handle it, that's for sure
You know they're a good captain when you see them slow down to wait for the next swell to catch up to them. Silky smooth! 0:40
I sure wish I could find this on the map.
Coast guard: Do you have a life jacket for that kid?
Captain of boat: Can we get out the inlet first jackass?
Guy on jet ski with his tinder date: Did some say jackass?
Captain is a dumb ass!
This is the most mildly interesting video I've seen all week
I like to tilt the motors up to raise the bow (so it won’t dip under) and stay on the back of the wave and slowly follow it in.

That was great thanks. I feel like I got the highlights from the whole day in a few lazy minutes.
that's the plan! happy you like!
That little blue 70s model glaston looking boat cracked me up. I think i can i think i can the little engine said lol
I got one of those and there is no bloody way i would take it out in that sea state, its bad enough in dead calm!!!! sayin that, he could have fitted a bigger engine, 25hp aint gonna cut it!
are they dead?
Your fricken funny
More power, more power!
thats a 1982 50 or 60 hp, not a 25 lol. plenty of power to get you out of trouble on that little boat.
There is a funny jet ski moment.
I did indeed laugh.
Yes. funny jet ski moment at 4:27
ZipZapPower the guy at 6:23 is just dumb, wasnt a smart idea to go out in speeding rip currents on a small boat with weaker motor
Ted Judah no shortage of idiots in Miami huh?
He looked for a while there like he was going out fishing whether he wanted to or not..lol
Jetski guy wont be getting a second date
I thought she was operating it
that under-powered little pond hopper @ 6:25 was funny..dude had no clue what he was doing
A lot of potential Darwin award winners in this video.
6:02 that tri-hull. Lol
As always, Fantastic!
Thanks! happy you like
Great video, the intrepid wins in my book
Good way to see different boat brands work in a sea
Thanks for whoever took it and edited it-real nice job
Thanks. Lots of intrepids running around miami.
what's the correct way to pilot your boat through waves like this? Should you try to match the speed of the swells or something?
If your going with the current, matching speed isn't enough. You must overpower the current to maintain control of the boat. The current / waves coming at you should be taken head on and as slow as you can being carefull not to poke the nose of the boat into the next wave or belly flopping your hull.

One hand for you and one for the craft.
Knowing what you're doing and safely can be a good thing, just like PFDs and common sense.
6:48 Come on little Johnny you can do it!
5:38 absolute boss
I have rarely been this bored. NO content here at all
16’ open bow 60 hp outboard no life vest on : the Darwin award goes too .....
...and 16' is being extremely generous. That looks to be 12' to 14' with a Johnson 9.9hp -15 hp - w/a pretty sweet Bimini top that will detach and trap them underwater when she rolls.
Can't say Darwin if they are still alive. They will pass on their DNA... SMH...
It was just foolhardy for some of those little boats to go out into the channel and beyond in that swell.
@ 5:06 you can see a good technique in the background for getting through these inlets.
Love Haulover beach and this spot you can even see manatees sometimes come out to the ocean though there!
The dude bro in the 15ft tri-hull at 6:20 is looking for trouble.
bro he knew what he was doin!
I laughed at the two clowns on the jet ski
Reminds me of the time I took my 16 foot runabout out through Indian River Outlet in Delaware. Seas were running around eight foot swells. Took me all of about five minutes to decide that the sea was not where I wanted to be. Learned real fast how to properly come in on a following sea too!
did the same thing at the same place with a pontoon...lower seas, but still an eye opener.
Hey! thought you might like to see this... just posted my first video from Indian River Inlet th-cam.com/video/WHHhZO9gSLk/w-d-xo.html
Nasty trailing waves. The first one knows what he's doing
Thank god for the coast guard asking people for lie jackets!!
Interesting. I wonder if that was me flying by? Nice video>
You can tell good boat designs just by the way they porpoise going threw the water. Bad designs slaps hard.
Love the 1980 tried hull! Just spinning around ...
Of course we don’t want anyone to get hurt, but come on... admit it. You watched for the same reason I did. Lol 😂 🛥
I may or may not be filming it for the same reason... If you want to see the hurt... Check this one out. Lol th-cam.com/video/Av_eqKYsyfI/w-d-xo.html
oooooff eatin it right next to the CG boat
that worldcat is sick!
There's a 300 lb Gilligan riding on the back of it.
Did you just say a WoRlDcAt is SiCk, look at some Freeman’s than you will know what is sick
Some nice boats there, that guy at 9.30 almost lost his!
A few cases of "all the gear and no idea". We get the same here in Australia, those guys wearing special fishing apparel that don't know how to follow on the back of a wave are generally an indicator of someone who will be a rescue case.
They are called googans here
I think I'd be wearing an Automatic Inflatable life vest with some of these captains.. amzn.to/2omPPGF
Why would you even try in some of those boats,like tri-haul... f that!!!
Billyboy Haul?
Everett Cox lmao hahahaha
ZipZapPowerl
ZipZapPower
Love this. Thanks for posting.
You're Welcome!
Loved this video!
Nice.
Cliff Totten Yy
That first one was pure talent, followed by the second guy who was pure "fuck it"
damn homies motor died with the tri hull at 6:30 at theeee worst spot possible hahah
Those Intrepid's sure look like they ride well, for a vee hull.
Was out there today, had some fun with GP1800, just got it, awesome ski. Inlet is always fun, keep an eye out for a white and black 40FT contender, named Reel Fortunate😉
will do..... get that ski in the air!
That worldcat😍
We used to jump off that bridge on out going tide ... look to see that there were no boats coming. Flood tide was no good, would bring into the bay and then there was no way of getting out ... on out going tide, could always swim to the jetty way before the opening
excellent training video
I don’t know about you but I’d find it crazy to ride a small ass dinghy in big waves like this
My God....this is December? This time of year my roof is creaking with 2 feet of snow on it, ice is forming in the gutters and the snowblower needs gas.......sigh.... : (
Gerald G time to move!
Its usually not as bad as this, sometimes, in Aug, Sept, october, smooth as glass
Really soothing video with the sound of the water against the hulls.

Thanks. I'm going to try and hit Palm Beach and see if I can get some new sport fishers soon.
So, if seems like speed is your friend in this situation?
Inlets really show which captains know what they are doing and which ones don’t.
Any boats you filmed that uses the yamaha vmax SHO outboard engines?
I love your videos but damn it can be frustrating, I would like to see what ends up happening in some of these instances, like when the 2 people are knocked off the jetski.....

lol I agree there all like suspense movies except for the 45 footer or whatever .
They DIED...😀😀😀😀
What is the name of the boat at 8:16 ?
This place used to scare the shit out of me, nightime is insane
The number of people without a pfd is astonishing.
I remember playing GTA vice city when see this
Definitely not a inlet for low profile hull boats. I like to see how the different boats handle the waves. Some seem to lack the understanding on how to run into the waves. The blimp got through just fine.

Chief the air intakes at the top, higher than it would be if u put an inboard on it
4:27 she submarined that jet ski hard and got the handle bars to the chest
Matt Tirpak2012 ass over tea kettle
The worst part about it was she wasn’t even driving. The guy behind her was driving and they head butted too
The famous Worldcat "Sneeze" at 8:10
Many of these boaters prove neither brains nor ability required to operate a boat.
That SACS rib wow!
how fast is that tide rushing out
GET THE PADDLE BOAT READY!
Only a fool would navigate this inlet without a life jacket on
I totally agree. it's better safe than sorry.
Can you explain why there is a problem with the inlet and boating ??
Haulover is no joke definitely not an inlet to be playing around in you can get in trouble in there so quick and that was a calm day
big waves out there today
yes, the bad part was in the inlet tho, once out it was relatively nice.
The small blue boat probably had Problems with the engine
I was in a boat once, and there was a wave and the boat kinda rocked a little, and I was like "Woah!" So I never went in a boat again.
Refreshing
one word. Southflorida
Thats largely because of the Captain of the boat he could have trimmed and adjusted his speed way better
7:57 that world cat is nice. I want one of those but a duel console.
yep ! it didn't even notice the waves on the way out, awesome boat.
It sliced through the inlet like it wasn't shit! Solid boat!
Freemans are the best cats ever made
Look at Freeman’s those are nice!
