Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti, are calling for lots of swell to line up for the first week+ of the contest waiting period. Medium size SW shifting SSW swell this weekend will be followed by slightly larger S swell for early next week, along with favorable conditions. We remain on track for a major swell for the 25th-26th, with potential for more very strong swell the weekend of the 27th-28th.<\/p>\n
