With just days to go<\/strong> until the Rip Curl Vic Bay Surf Pro QS 2,000 and Rip Curl Vic Bay Surf Pro Junior, the forecast is shaping up beautifully for three days of high-performance surfing at one of South Africa\u2019s most iconic point breaks.<\/p>\n

Current forecasts indicate consistent surf in the two-to-three-foot range throughout the event window. This is accompanied by light and variable winds. While not expected to be a giant swell event, the conditions look ideally suited to showcase the best surfers in the country, along with the international entries.<\/p>\n

Mechanical Right-Hander<\/h3>\n

For seasoned competitors, Victoria Bay\u2019s long, mechanical right-hander often produces some of its best surfing when conditions are clean rather than oversized. The forecast is expected to provide plenty of opportunity for surfers to demonstrate the kind of speed, power, flow and high-risk surfing that judges reward.<\/p>\n

While the forecast currently looks favourable, organisers will continue to monitor conditions throughout the week. Should surf heights drop significantly, nearby Herold\u2019s Bay remains available as a backup venue. The picturesque beachbreak, is located just around the corner from Victoria Bay. It has a long history of producing quality competition conditions when required.<\/p>\n
