Weather conditions

Local sea conditions governed by the shallow river-ocean inlet make passage difficult or impossible during the heavy monsoon season when ocean swells create large breakers across the inlet and inlet is closed to all vessels during sea conditions of Beuford 5 and above. Therefore passage is normally possible June to August; rarely possible September to November; sometimes possible during the rest of the year December to May.
