CAPTAINS TIMING BIG SWELLS AT MANASQUAN INLET | Large Ground Swells Surprise Some Boaters

A distant storm off the coast of New Jersey was causing very large and random swells that would start small and grow into 8-10 waves that would be across the entire Manasquan Inlet.
This shocked some boaters as this is rare for Manasquan but many of them featured in this video timed them perfectly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These massive waves would seemingly come out of nowhere and break across the entire width of the inlet -- which is pretty unusual for Manasquan.
Watch as boats take on and run from large rolling swells coming from the Atlantic Ocean.
This was during low tide and light offshore winds.

Mystery Boat 2 solved. Legacy is my 1999 35 Henriques Express. Original owner with 22 seasons running from Cape May to Montauk. Great video, Shore Boats. Professional work.

[@ShoreBoats]

Beautiful boat! Thank you Stephen!

[@walterdavis4808]

That's a really nice boat !

[@johnm5714]

Who needs Haulover? --nice-clear video guys THANKS

[@ShoreBoats]

Thanks for watching John!

[@andrewcapone3345]

Mystery boat 1 looked like a Regulator with that bracket.

[@robertbarone6724]

Great videography! Thank you! So much better than haul over, real captain’s and experience. We fished out of Shinnecock Inlet Long Island for years out of a 28ft Bertram. Keep up the great work!👍

[@ShoreBoats]

Thanks for watching Robert!!

[@thomasperina2990]

Good evening 🙏 all: The inlet looked like 👍 it had an upset stomach with all that churning water. The swells didn't really get ya until you hit the mouth between the inlet & the ocean side then its hang on for dear life. On the way back in that trailing sea 🌊 can really get your blood pressure up. Nice clear video guys, TMP from N.J.

[@southpointeboats1127]

That Inlet can get pretty rough. Amazing swells. Good views!

[@tomsreviews238]

Awesome video, all those Cabo's were very cool.

[@scottplatt6314]

Great job look forward to these videos every week

[@ShoreBoats]

Thanks for all your support Scott!

[@tomsav8848]

I could watch boats come in and out of that inlet all day. Made the run hundreds of times..

[@carpediemwithLesli]

I had to come from Atlantic City via the NJICW yesterday because of weather and my only window that I see is tomorrow Sunday around 5am and going with an outgoing tide.
I have a 2002 Mainship 390.
What can you tell me about it?
What are my chances at survival?😢

[@robertrusnak620]

Seems pretty calm from when I’ve gone through there.

[@markchizmadia2004]

Your videography is beautiful.
What kind of camera equivalent are you using?

[@lan62256]

Those big rollers remind me of the Columbia Bar. Six miles of rollers.

[@robertolsen134]

great video. Timing is everythng

[@josephperry6822]

That inlet has some serious swells! Would have loved to see some boats launching them...

[@patrickcox1313]

I took my twenty eight foot cape dory power cruiser, a trawler, from the Jersey Shore to Lake Michigan in Chicago. I would prefer to run long ten ft ground swells in the Atlantic over a two foot chop in the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are a maelstrom, waves are steep and fast and come from all directions. It’s not particularly dangerous but just miserably unpleasant, all the time. I’m heading back to the east coast.

Mystery #1 looked like a regulator.
#2 looks like a Henriques express

[@stans9293]

Second the Henriques

[@williamkiser5611]

Mystery boat looks like a contender

[@roger9453]

Definitely a Henriques Express for Mystery #2

[@HighSpeedPursuit1]

Looks wide and deep enough, people like to run with nets in the t-top up that way. Mystery boat #1 looks like a Regulator

[@powellriver100]

Any sailboats go trough here on a steady basis ??

[@DrRezaAliRumi]

Best wishes

[@vitofish961]

Between the canal based and river based boats the weekend traffic is just too heavy, especially on a moon tide.

[@Skolmann]

The inlet has shoaled up significantly on the Point side in the last year.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Well, there's some swells but not the kind of chop you see at Haulover.

[@robertlandry5676]

Mystery Boat 2 looks like a Luhrs

[@harrymurphey2634]

... from looking at the jetties you can tell it is very close to or at low tide ... Hhhmmm ??? Do you think that has something to do w/ the "large swells" ??? Me knows it does ...

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Legacy is a 35 Henriques express

[@stans9293]

Lesson learned - 30 year old 20' boats with 20 year old 150hp engines can run inlets too

[@johnbumpus7138]

Crazy right here in South Florida they need at least four mercury 450R’s

[@ruffguycrew2029]

The mystery boat number 2 is a 35 express Henriques

[@gg9960]

omg 20 foot swells at haulover...lol...
.welcome to the northeast

[@seanyuke3249]

Captains? Must mean something different there.

[@jerryv.7007]

Mystery boat 1 was a regulator and the mystery boat 2 was a henriques.

[@thomasfisher8145]

Mystery boat 2 is a henriques

[@karenmanning5696]
