I agree! Without my breakwater my dock would be destroyed in the winter! I have watched on my cameras the ice slowly creep up the sloped rocks of my breakwater then snap off in small pieces as it overhangs the dock. This is how a properly built breakwater is supposed to work in the winter. Breakwaters serve a year round purpose.
