Went through here a couple of times and encountered the worst of overfalls . Never took any notice of charts when they say "Overfalls" because I thought as long as your boat is 35 feet + your're ok (we were 48 feet). sailing at 7 knots (SoG) and suddenly we stopped. Wind seemed to stop, sails luffed, waves coming from 4 directions and I thought we were going to be sucked down into a vortex. It felt like the gunwales of the yacht were 10cm high (Beneteau 47.7) with waves coming at us from everywhere. Experiences like these do make you a better sailor however.

Great video, especially by the patchy standards of youTube: thanks for sharing the experience.
