Surfing CEO. I think the biggest pressure was actually on surfing conditions. So, everyone says that Oh, it s a bad time of year for surfing in Japan, said Cruse. The forecast calls for bigger swells from a potential tropical storm forming South of Japan next week.Judges will be looking for speed, power, and flow from all 40 competitors. Anywhere from head high and little bit overhead and they have an 8 day wait

Way below the equator, deep down in the Southern Ocean, a powerful storm that’s already delivered XL swell to Tasmania is reaching peak-strength to the east of New Zealand. From there, like a buckshot blast from the Southwest Pacific, this storm will scatter large and long-lasting swell around the basin the first few days of the month giving Hawaii its largest surf of the season so far on the 5th before granting the U.S. West Coast some fun waves the following week.
