NOAA publishes current predictions for this inlet (Bakers Haulover Cut, station ACT8141). The ebb sets toward 90° (east); typical peak ebb 2.3 kn, up to 3.2 kn at spring tides.
Ebb against swell on the bar
Swell and wind from the east meet the ebb head on: waves get shorter and steeper and can break on the bar. The same swell on the flood is usually far easier. The app compares the hour-by-hour current with the forecast waves and wind to rate each hour.
Bar depth used to estimate wave steepening: about 3 m (10 ft). Sandbars move: this is not a chart and never says where to cross.
Local notes
- Rated by boating guides as often rough: an outgoing tide against onshore wind or swell piles up waves at the entrance.
