In fact, sea breakers enchant (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fascinate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enchant' is the definition.
(I know that enchant can be written as fascinate)

'in fact sea breakers' is the wordplay.
'in fact sea' can be anagrammed to 'FASCINATE'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fascinate that I've seen before include "Irresistibly interest" , "Enchant - beguile" , "Captivate" , "Charm" , "Intrigue" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
