The Inertia

It’s the first day of the waiting period for the WSL finals at Lower Trestles, and officials have announced they’re going on yellow. This means that there will be no surf today, but officials are eyeing tomorrow for a potential start.

“It feels good to be down here on day one, and it feels even better to be going on yellow this morning. Everyone’s been talking about the swell and we know that tomorrow is going to be really good, so it’s gonna be a potential for tomorrow, Saturday finals day,” WSL Chief of Sport Jessi Miley Dyer said in a beachside interview. “We’ve been following this swell for Saturday and Sunday and right now what we’re looking at is that Saturday we’re going to build through tomorrow and have the peak of the swell in the afternoon. There is a really small potential for fog in the mornings for both Saturday and Sunday, [but] it’s still looking like Saturday is the best day, so that’s why we’re goin yellow today. We want to give ourselves every great chance to have great waves for the finals.”

Stay tuned. Fingers crossed this swell pans out
