Billabong WJC Day 1 Highlights

Surf is sizeable, but pretty stormy. Hoping for an afternoon clean up with a wind change. The South East winds are blowing pretty hard at the moment..

 A series of West swells will start growing on Friday with a Big West swell scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Weather has rain in the forecast for Saturday but lite winds. Westerly direction and size could make for a lot of water moving at most NorCal beaches; proceed with caution. Another almost as big West follows up on Monday, then the trend goes smaller but still at least head high through the week.

January 13, 2012 Austin sets up and easily pulls five 360 chop hops at Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz. Almost pulls the 6th attempt. According to Facebook post, he did 18 chop hops on only 3 wave. Unfortunately, I only caught this one wave by chance when riding my bike by the Point.

Current WNW will decrease and turn more from the NW through the weekend. This means there will still be good waves at the beach breaks in the mornings and less energy wrapping into Santa Cruz. Monday the next swell shows up with pretty steep NW angle as well. More fair weather in the forecast. Enjoy!
