This is a great example of the Weirs area as you enter or exit Paugus Bay.
I also boat on Buzzards Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee and the only place I have experienced like that on the Cape is the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal from Buzzards Bay.
The current coming from the canal and the wind blown waves make it like a Blender on 11... a great quote
A 27 foot boat can handle it , but you will definitely get knocked around and will have to keep the bow up.
Also where the rivers and inlets meet the ocean the tides and current keeps a boater on their toes.
My favorite You Tube CH is Haulover Inlet down in FL.
I have also had 100 foot yachts pass me on the Cape Cod Canal within 150 ft , so the ocean can be intense as well. Even though the canal has a speed limit , it only seems to be observed when the harbor master is around.
