A forecast of pumping surf promises a home-break advantage to local competitors when the final round of Victorian Junior Surfing Titles arrives at Jan Juc this weekend.
Offshore winds are predicted to groom waves around 1.5 metres high on the first day of competition as locals take on contestants from eastern Victoria across six divisions.
Top juniors compete for Victorian championships and places in a state side to contest Australian Junior Surfing Titles later this year. Barwon Heads’ Ellie Harrison and Phillip Island’s Codie Jeffrey have already accumulated enough points to secure the Victorian under-14 girls and under-16 boys’ state titles respectively.
The remaining divisions each have at least four surfers in contention for the state title.
“The final event of this series is always one of the most exciting events of the year” said Surfing Victoria chief Adam Robertson.
“We have some incredible talent setting themselves up for a state title win and it will make for some exciting viewing across the weekend!”
Robertson nominated local surfers to watch as Jan Juc’s Patrick Hughes, Willis Droomer and Bella Wilson.
