The motor is mounted in number 1.
Swells in the first 3 minutes were 4-7 at 10 seconds with 1 to 2 ft wind chop. After the 3:30 minute mark when i was on the bar swells were 4-8 and 2 to 3 ft wind chop. the difference is the current was ebbing at 2.5 kts in that narrow shallow channel so that 10 second period get reduced down to 6-8 seconds making some steep enough to break.
That was actually a really nice day for the NW ocean. The bar most people would have waited and hour or two for the current to slow which would cause it to lay down to match the ocean.
