You have nice deep water along the north side of the breakwater (maybe unless a storm moved the sand), but there's no markers. So you're guessing...
Sure you're in the right spot? What you're showing looks like a shoal not a breakwater. In fact it looks like the shoal N/E of the breakwater....

Familiar or not they should be prudent. I always assumed I would die in an inlet. I also cruised every minute with the thought "What if..."....
