The first big winter storm swells have been rolling through…

I went out to the Bower on the point as the swell had a lot of south in it and that’s the least southerly protected part of Manly bay. However it is a pretty sketchy right hand break coming around the point – you definitely dont want to go left – and all the waves end in a rocky boulder boneyard…

There were about 10-15 surfers and a bunch of body boarders in the 6-8ft line up…I saw plenty of great rides, a couple of guys getting barreled, some monster slams, and one body boarder lose his board and have it smashed on the rocks…
