I’m pretty sure everyone, including the pros slotted to surf in round 3 of the Billabong Pro J-Bay were expecting the contest to start up again early this morning in South Africa. Expectations were let down. After not one, or two, or three, or even four, but nine, NINE, calls to put the contest on hold, they officially called yet another lay day at 3:15pm.

“It’s certainly unfortunate that the projected swell and conditions never materialized today,” Rich Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “We had the very best intentions to run today, but at the end of the day, the surfers determined the conditions were not consistent enough to recommence competition. Tomorrow is shaping up to be much better in terms of swell consistency and we’ll look to get underway early.”

With only 2 days left in the waiting period and the forecast looking good for tomorrow, it’s almost a certainty that round 3 heats will be in the water early tomorrow morning.
