About Sebastian Inlet

It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 12 km away. The sea is about 21°C in January, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in September, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sebastian. Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots.
