Breakers in the SC harbor

Was checking out the webcams and surf reports today and noticed some waves breaking inside the end of the harbor. Maybe it needs a good dredging. Also saw someone launching their red sailing kayak and enjoyed a moment of excitement as it exited the harbor along with a smaller paddle yak and had to climb a wave or two.

This was around 10:30. Anybody recognize their boat?

Somewhat surprising? The swell forecast shows just a little over 3.5 ft and from the west.

Guessing the storms have brought in a lot of sand to the entrance?? I do see dredging equipment there often.

Did notice there is also a minus tide for 12:00 which may have contributed as well.

Long ago my wife and I had to navigate some like that in our Neckys, but it was a good swell with a surf contest going on as well.

Not me in the red AI, but that looks manageable...

Looks like the dredge is back in action. Been watching the cams for a few days and looking for an opportunity to sneak out after work. Saw a few kayaks here and there turn back after some consideration at the harbor mouth.
