What you see here is simply sea spray kicking up on a windy day, usually (but not always) found in conjunction with a strong tidal flow (ideal conditions for breaking swell).
I´m no radar guru but I find it hard to believe that the harbour inlet and tidal flow cause waves and spray out to 40km offshore. Is that what you're saying?
