Brant Rock Conditions?

[scubastew]

I was curious if anyone has been out on Brant Rock in Marshfield recently (this weekend?). Any idea what the water temps are? and What the swells are like? I have dived and snorkeled that site a few times but each time it's been a mixed bag. Either the swells are enough to swish you around underwatre or there is so much sand churned up visibility is minimal. Though at other times It's been perfect conditions.

Was thinking of heading out there Monday the 31st and wondering what the scoop might be?

Thanks for the heads up, it's appreciated !!

I haven't been down there yet this year, but let me know how it is! After DIR-F this weekend, I'm definately going to be looking to do a bunch of shore diving.

I did swing bye Brant Rock in Marshfield Ma on Monday 5/31, conditions where great for snorkeling anyway and a few divers showed up as I was leaving.

temps: 55 degrees (stayed in the shallows, max 15 feet)
visability: 15+ feet

as the tide came in it stirred up a little sand but still was great. I've been in a lot worse at that site.

noticed a rather large flounder and a half dozen small (non-keeper) lobsters. Two were missing their crusher claw (be carefull folks do your best not to pull those off in your bug hunting excitement.

cheers

I'm looking to get wet around 5pm tomorrow at Brant Rock. High tide is at 5:41. Winds should be out of the west!

Lemme know if anyone wants to join.

Watch out for my dive flag!

Actually, my daughter's softball team advanced in the playoffs last night so I'll be at another game this evening instead of diving.

Where do you launch your boat from?

Went out to my "spots" and got some bugs. Water was 54° at depth. Vis was easily 25'. I could clearly see the bottom (at 33' in this particular spot) while holding onto the side of the boat. Great vis but not loaded with lobster. Still, it was great to be out again.
