The January 2006 issue of Saltwater Sportsman magazine compiled a list of the five most treacherous inlets on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Topping the list is the St. Lucie Inlet.
Experienced captains who regularly deal with the St. Lucie agree that, on its best behavior, Stuart's passage to the sea is tricky. At its worst, it's downright deadly. The article — aptly titled "Swells From Hell" — warns boaters about potential hazards encountered while trying to travel to sea or back in rough conditions, relying chiefly on anecdotal evidence from those who use inlets the most.

my 62 year old stepdad braves those waters every day to go fishing. He and phins are true soulmates.
Speaking of which, Scott, how have the waters been lately? I really miss being down there and having fresh (read: good) seafood every day...

Shitty the last week and a half or so, 6 to 9 foot waves for this weekend as well. With me being sick this is the longest my boat has sat since I bought it.
