TOP 30 SHOCKING MOMENTS AT CAPBRETON INLET | BOAT ZONE | HAULOVER INLET

Similar to the Haulover Inlet, the Passe du Boucarot in Capbreton, France, is famous for its heavy shore breaks and some extraordinary waves.

Off the coast of Capbreton is a deep and large canyon due to the movements of large tectonic plates between France and Spain. The sea floor rises quite fast towards the coast, which explains why the waves can be so traitorous at the inlet entrance. Given specific movements of the entering and retiring tides, along with strong currents due to the canyon, and accentuated by large surf coming to shore, the inlet can become quite risky.

The original access to the harbor was only developed in the 70s with the actual inlet built as we know it now.

Regarding the port of Capbreton, it is the only fishing port in the entire Landes department.

There are three types of fishing boats in that harbor: caseyeurs, fileteurs and chalutiers.
The "caseyeurs" are boats that live cages on the bottom of the ocean, like the lobstermen would do in Maine. The "fileteurs" let long fishing strings in the wake of the boat, such as casual fishermen would do. The "chalutiers" (fishing trawler) are much more destructive to the environment. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers.

I loved seeing the sailboats. The sailor in the black sailboat was great

[PoppaBadger]

I've seen much better piloting of these boats as compared to Haulover. The fellow that stopped to ANALYZE his situation BEFORE proceeding into the heavy waves. EXTREMELY SMART!!! AN EXTREMELY TALENTED PILOT!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[haydenstarrenburg]

Big difference between here and haulover... these people know what they are doing

[weeklydivedose]

many more experienced sailors than at Haulover. the sailing dude at 19:10 with his 5 hp engine is definitely a master

[dustyfarmer]

I'm amazed that so far I haven't seen one person wearing a P.F.D. Your advice about timing your run & sitting on the back of a wave is correct, waves usually roll in sets of seven, seventh being the largest.

19:03 Beautiful Sailing Yacht, expertly handled solo outbound and on the return.
Many at Haulover could learn a few lessons from this Captain

[BoatingSwitzerland]

So many differences to Florida boating. Way less horsepower, smaller MFD, older boats, no twerking, no high end Fusion sound systems, no fancy underwater lights… but way better skills from most captains (besides no PFD). The only common thing is that so many qualified captains let people ride in the bow.

Old man in white boat was smart enough to turn around 👍

Sailboats are meant to travel the world through very heavy conditions. The sailboats on this video were handling the waves well. Sailors need to change sails all the time in heavy weather, especially if the sailor needs to change from a genoa to a storm jib, for instance when encountering heaveier conditions. The sailor with the swinging boom needed to tighten the sheets (lines that hold the boom in place), or use a preventer. The sailor at the bow of the boat and the one hanging on the shrouds should have been clipped in with a jack line, and had life vests with those waves.

Professional sailor and boater since I was 4 years old, and I am over 60, what surprises me is the lightness with which they go to sea... No lifejacket, ignorance of the wave bar and how to pass it, at the exit and at the entrance to the port ! For the exit, you have to keep a heading facing the waves, with a speed allowing you to maneuver and for the entry, you have to go faster than the waves, otherwise you will go surfing and possibly into the jetties !

[tomkearns]

Surprising to see so many people on those boats with no lifejackets or buoyancy aids. Any person falling off these crafts is in danger of being lost in turbulence.

[garypellerin]

If you are new to being on a boat, the best, safest and most protected place is the steering station. Get as close as you can to the captain and hang on to something solidly connected to the boat.

[ginevragali]

“Trimming the bow” in my family meant everyone had to sit in the back and get cold and wind blown at the very time you wanted to be up front, cozy and warm in the cabin!

[flowingcolor]

Beautifully shot, the lighting/angles/panning even Just great

[fishingwiththomas]

In Australia most states require life jackets to he worn by everyone when crossing coastal bars. And all kids under 18 must always wear one.

[howleh]

I still CAN NOT figure out the idea that sitting on the bow is a good idea in these seas.

[Moose]

I was impressed with the second boat's captain. Timed his exit well, waited for the waves, lined his course up and knew when to put the hammer down to get out of the danger zone.

[ChrisP-nilz]

Wow. You guys have gone global. Shocking that no life jackets on kids

[Wayoutthere]

The first clip was rage inducing from the start..

[chriswoods]

Stopping to check the timing of the sets is standard procedure for crossing breaking river bar mouths here in Australia & New Zealand, As is sitting on the back of a larger set wave for returning through the surf zone. You use the biggest wave to come in on as the bigger the wave the more water you have under you.
