First, getting back into Rollover Bayou on a Low tide is a Challenge. Read the water, where u see Breakers, it's shallow.

If you are skilled and cautious, you could do it in a 14' Flat, BUT.... you'll often encounter 2-3' waves on S-E or -W winds...sooo.... either wait for N winds, or don't go. Saw a swamped 21' Xpress there a couple months ago, stuck on the beach. They had to leave their boat overnight. Boat got sideways in super shallow water....bammm...hit by a 2' wave, flipped it on it's side, and the next few waves filled it full of water. Tried 2 hrs to bail it out, kept filling up, had to abandon it !!!!
