A Gnarly Noosa Bar. Tuesday morning, March 7, 2023.

The bar was pretty punchy this morning and a few boats got some quite impressive air on the way out. Too much action for one video so I'll do a couple. Apart from the 'Gnarly Bar' scenario it was quite pleasant at the river mouth though, with a light 3 to 5 knot north westerly breeze blowing. BOM forecast: Northerly winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas: Around 1 metre, increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres by early evening. Swell: Easterly around 1 metre inshore, increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres offshore. Filmed between 5.40am and 6.50am which was a couple of hours before a 2.03m high tide. Background Music: 'I Just Wanna Be Great' (Instrumental)... by NEFFEX.

Yeah north has big tides but it’s mostly shallow and protected by reefs but go south and you find the continental shelf closer to the mainland and those ocean swells with it QLD knows nothing about rough water!

    Similar thing happened to me crossing the Mallacoota bar many years ago in a Stessl 550. The waves kept coming and grew bigger each time. The big difference was we were wearing our lifejackets and the Yammy didn't shit itself. Anyway, my wife didn't say a word to me for over an hour so afterwards.......it was worth the serenity 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, it scared the shit out me and my wife and I've never really forgiven myself for putting her in that dangerous scenario. Bar crossings are dangerous, wear you bloody life jacket!!!

    I'm not very experienced at bar crossings by any stretch of the imagination but... Forward hatch not secure to prevent damage and water ingress. Toy life jackets AND not worn on what I believe is a notorious bar. Panic mode when engine stalls, understandable maybe? A responsible Skipper should know all this and more importantly.... his own limits and genuine skill. Just saying.

    We have a choice of 3 bars too cross, kaituna, maketu or pukehina bar the hole is generally left on all 3 but you look for blue water or swell peaking but not breaking, if it's breaking that's a sand bank underneath, due diligence check bar before dropping in at ramp, hard at pukehina but the other 2 you can drive too the mouth and check ,even better go there at low tide and walk across see the deepest at low tide, if your going midtide Allgood once you get through, look back and get a land mark, tree, house or roof colour so when you come back you've got the same line in, I'm still hearing of boats in trouble there, be safe ,if the swells there don't do it unless your a local or a local surfer outdabak
