The swell has dropped a lot overnight and after meeting with surfers this morning, contest officials announced that today would be a lay day at the Rip Curl Pro Super Series in Hossegor.

After Big names were eliminated on Day 1, today will provide a relaxing sunny day for surfers and spectators alike.

There is a great swell forecast for later this week, so conditions will improve again quickly.

The remaining five Round 1 heats will be held first, with former World Tour surfer Tom Carroll (USA) competing heat 24.
Round 2 will introduce the contest’s top seeds, including Foster’s ASP World Tour surfers Mick Fanning (AUS), Troy Brooks (AUS), Nathan Hedge (AUS), Chris Ward (USA) and defending champion Adriano de Souza (BRA).
