If you watch the video below from about the 1:15 mark to 1:30 mark, you will see the proper way of running an inlet during breaking seas. As you will sea, the CG is coming in at angle with the seas on the port quarter and they have adjusted their boat speed so that they are riding just behind the back of the wave in front of them. What you dont see is that when the wave in front of them breaks...they increase throttle and speed across the whitewater to avoid the wave behind them.

All of the footage from the beginning to about the 1:15 mark is practicing and seeing how the boat handles in breaking surf. I do not recommend allowing a breaking wave to overcome you directly from astern as they do in the footage....
