Quartet to begin Australian Grand Slam of Surfing series assault on Sunday

A moderate east swell is forecast for the region over the weekend and into next week and should make for favourable conditions at Cabarita Beach for the event, featuring four South Coast products, to run over two days on Sunday and Monday.

"We have been tracking this swell for a week now and the forecast has been constantly changing every day," said WSL's Tweed Coast Pro contest director Renato Hickel.

"Although it's been changing in size and direction it has stayed relatively true for this coming weekend and indicates we should have what we need to run a successful, exciting and entertaining event.
