SNN: SAN CLEMENTE, CA/USA (Wednesday, September 9, 2015) – The H urley Pro and Swatch Women’s Pro, stops No. 8 and 7 respectively on the Samsung Galaxy World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), have been called ON today in clean four-to-six foot surf at Lower Trestles. Competition will commence with Men’s Round 1 followed by Women’s Round 1.

“We’ve got a great forecast,” said WSL Commissioner, Kieren Perrow. “It’s a beautiful morning down here with waves in the 4 – 6 foot range and sets overhead. We’ve got really good conditions so we will be running heats today. We’ll start with Men’s Round 1 and go into Women’s Round 1, and get as far as we can through that. We’re looking forward to an exciting day.”

First to compete will be Kelly Slater (USA), Jadson Andre (BRA) and Dusty Payne (HAW) in the opening heat of Round 1.

Good size Southern Hemisphere SW swell prevails Wednesday, very slowly trending down through the back half of the week. However, we will see new SE swell from Hurricane Linda start to arrive late Wednesday and peak Thursday and into Friday and rather solid, consistent waves continue. The swell mix will trend down slowly through the weekend, with a further decrease in surf early next week. A fun size, rippable SW swell is on track for the 17th-18th. Surfline.

The Hurley Pro and Swatch Women’s Pro Trestles hold a competitive window of September 9 – 20, 2015 and will be webcast LIVE on WorldSurfLeague.com and on the WSL mobile app.
