Jeffreys Bay - The world’s best surfers were sent to work in glassy one to 1.3 metre (3-4 foot) waves at Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay on Friday morning when contest director Eric Stedman got Round 1 of the R3 million Billabong Pro J-Bay underway at 07:30.

Despite the continued cloudless skies and windless conditions generated by the unseasonable high pressure system dominating the Southern tip of the continent, the predicted swell arrived on cue and Stedman had no hesitation in sending the first of the 12 heats in the opening round into the water soon after dawn. He also put Round 2 on standby for a possible start this afternoon.
Surfline, the official surf forecasters for the Billabong Pro J-Bay 2011, predict that the current contestable swell from the southwest will drop slightly during the day and on Saturday before getting bigger again on Sunday. Swell conditions are likely to be small for the first half of next week but the prognosis for next weekend has improved.
