The Roxy Pro Quarterfinalists are set and reigning six-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) will take on Silvana Lima (BRA) for the third time this competition.
Surfline, official forecaster for the World Surf League, are calling for:
A reinforcing, mid-longer period S swell will move through the region tonight through Sunday. While the direction of this swell isn’t ideal and will largely bypass the area, it should produce contestable waves for the region during the right tides. This swell gradually eases through Monday as the direction shifts more SSE. Small easterly trade swell is expected on Tuesday as SSE swell eases further. A modest increase in E trade swell is expected by mid next week.
The Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast will be webcast LIVE at WorldSurfLeague.com.
The world's best surfing will also be broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports in Australia, MCS Extreme in France, EDGE Sports in China, South Korea Malaysia and other territories and the WSL's new partner in Brazil, Globo TV.
