Conditions for Breakwater today. We arrived at 8AM and had 2-4 foot waves, plus long, rolling surge breaking on the wall and steps.
We sat there for an hour, and it finally started to calm down with breaks between the surge and waves so we suited up and in we went. It was a bit of a challenge to get out past the waves and surge but once we were out we had 25 foot of vis and calm underwater conditions. We went to 43 feet and had a great dive. Coming back in was again hard work and required timing, but we made it. By the time we got out the tide was out and it had calmed down a lot. Water temp. 55 degrees. My new Sci Tech valve and repaired wrist seals did not leak at all so I was happy my work payed off. I did not take my scooter/light/camera rig in due to the surge.
