I have not entered the river but when we went past it going south I thought we were going to die. Huge breaking waves 8 NM offshore. We should have gone way further offshore. Since we were going downhill we couldn’t see them breaking until we were in it.

Timing and weather are the two biggest factors to manage. But “knowing your boat” is a tougher one, since everyone must have a first time, when they in fact do not know their boat, at least not for those conditions.
