I was attached to USCG Station Depoe Bay in the 80's and have piloted an MLB through "The Hole in the Wall" hundreds of times. Was there things that captain could have done better?....Sure, but there is no way around it, no matter how good of a pilot you are or how well you time it, sometimes you get caught by an out of series swell or a rogue wave. In that tight dogleg, it's all about timing and try as you might, you can't control when the ocean is going to sneak one in on you. The captain did a good job of getting the boat straightened out and back in the harbor safely. Armchair captain's can talk all day long about how they'd have done this and done that better, but until you've been sitting in the Depoe Bay channel at low tide with heavy seas coming directly out of the West.....it's all just talk.

I've been to Depoe Bay many times growing up. Mostly to go whale watching which is offered at the Bay. Depending on the weather, the waves can get so rough that I've literally gone airborn for about a second or two from the boat going up and down. If you get seasick easily, it's not recommended. If you go, remember to hold on right to the rails and don't lean over them. I made that mistake once and almost went overboard; almost gave my mother and the skipper a heart attack.

Jennifer, a very interesting video. Thank you for posting it. This can be an extremely hazardous entrance, as your video shows. The Endeavor inbound here lost its steerageway due to overtaking swells. Very dangerous...people have died here because of dangerous sea conditions. Fortunately no one was injured here, although the owner's wallet will be a LOT lighter. One suggestion: you might want to edit your title, as the proper name of the bay is "Depoe Bay".

First time i crossed the bar into depoe i followed a very experienced retired captain and was terrified, but had faith in the captain and followed him in. It is a wonderful place to pull in for the night. you just find a vacant slip and no one bothers you for moorage or anything. I stopped in two more times and loved it, it is like a carnival ride. It is over so quick, not like girabaldi where you toss your cookies going in and coming out cause it is such a long entrance. i found it easy because you can follow the range day boards on shore. once i was in trouble because it was kind of rough and foggy. i was lucky to find a whale watcher boat and he led me right to the bar and it was amazing how when you get there the fog goes away and it is like a pond on a golf corse a whole different world on the other side of the bridge. and beer and pizza.

@briane173

Probably the worst combination of outflow current + a wave overtaking the outflow just as he was entering the channel. You notice he gunned the throttle during the outflow, and once _that_ current stabilized, here comes a breaker right over it when the pilot has the boat throttled back. Where the wave and neutral current meet the rudder can't really steer because the net current is 0. So that breaker was able to push him off the rhumb line with no resistance, like wind shear in an airplane.

When approaching a inlet like these we slow down and try to speed up behind the wave,he had enough time to put to reverse and hold until the wave passes as the wave was not breaking.Echo vs common sense and Echo always loose,lucky this time!At 0:23 he should hold and sits on the wave and speed as the wave go passes the centre of the boat,we do this all the time!

We were in a boat where someone didn't stay behind a wave coming in to Newport Oregon and were almost swamped. Luckily my husband reached around his father and pushed the throttle to full, pushed his dad out of the way and swung us back inside the jetties. Close call.

Mostly bad timing, should have waited outside the mouth, till that wave that made him broach, had just passed the bow and then gunned it to maintain steerage while not running up over the top of the swell. taking a following swell on the stern, while heading into current is asking to broach. Kudos to the helmsman, it could have been much worse.
