Red Bull Big Wave Africa Alert: Waiting Period Open, Swell Bound For Dungeon's
Hout
Bay, Cape Town - There is a strong groundswell approaching Cape Town,
and this Friday and Saturday are looking like prime days to run the Red
Bull Big Wave Africa 2008. Event organizers only need one day of optimum surf to run the event, and Saturday is looking best. Organizers have called an Amber Alert and the
event is currently on 24-hour standby. "It's going to be very difficult to not call the event on Saturday judging by what the charts are showing," said official event forecaster Steve Pike. "The swell looks really good throughout the day."
Co-contest director Gary Linden from California is also upbeat about what the swell charts are revealing. "The swell is looking really good for Friday and Saturday, and we're all ready to go," said Gary. "We'll be on the mountain at first light Friday to have a look."
Attention: Should we have a green for go this weekend there will be a live webcast of the entire event at RedBullBWA.com, as well as image and video uploads throughout the event.
Sometimes I wish I didn't live in the desert. :)
Everyone look out!
