About Inner Breakers
A reef dive. It goes down to 14 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 14 km away. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 19°C in July, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). 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 Marblehead.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Sea is the open water's waves near the site, in metres, halved for a sheltered site. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); "boats in" marks gusts that keep dive boats in. This week's visibility, the current and the life no free forecast gives.
