OVER the weekend Cape Town was hit by a massive cold front that brought north-westerly gales and driving rain. These frontal systems rumble in from the south Atlantic and have been the cause of many a shipwreck.
The Sea Point beachfront has claimed many wrecks in the past 300 years and these pics show why Cape Town is sometimes known as the Cape of Storms. Out to sea the swells were 4-5 metres.
