Manly Point
Edit SpotAbout
fun wave...heavy locals
Atmosphere:
watch out for the local guys so when u se a group of 4-6 guys out on boogers/surfboards u probly dont wanna go out cuz ur not gunan get any waves...
Additional Info:
short, fun, ledgey little right hander off the rocks....watch out for the small group of local groms...they pretty much own the wave and you pretty much jst wont get a wave out ther with them...and i wuldnt even think about snakeing and/or dropping in cuz theyll push u into the rocks and drop in on u until u leeve....so pretty much jst dont go out while ther out ther....
Usually North Steyne or the Bower are the best spots along the Manly stretch, however South Steyne can be pumping. The last two times I have been down the conditions have been perfect, and its been breaking like the Kirra of old in reverse - long, hollow waves the break perfectly. Definately worth a look.
