Yeah, Jon posted these a while back.

Can someone please explain this breaking wave. Was this a high wind/fast
tidal flow phenomenon or does this often occur under the GG bridge??? Too
bad they lost the boat, but it also looks like they could have avoided the
standing wave area.

Yes, this happens under the GG bridge in the south tower area fairly
frequently. Sometimes it also happens near the north tower, but the waves
don't generally break as it's deeper on that side. They could have and
should have avoided this. All it take is a bit of common sense. More later.
