I'm not sure which chart... but

If you look at the blow-up of the inlet, there appear to be two underwater piers shown just north of the submerged jetty. they may have cliped the western one?
Looking at the blow-up chart of that inlet; and reading the Cruising Guide for the inlet doesn't make this reader find it any more comforting.
