“The swell has filled in this morning and there are some good waves coming through from behind the rock,” Rich Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “It’s about three-to-four foot with cross-shore winds and we expect conditions to improve throughout the day as the tide drops. Women’s Round 1 will start at 7:30am with Round 1 and the opening round of men’s competition on standby.”
