Live: Huge Surf Tonight

The third stop on this year's Big Wave Tour should be underway within a few hours time (ZA time), which means it starts this evening, so top up your bandwidth, or pressgang your mate with the best TV and settle in for some carnage.

Kelly Slater has confirmed that he will be surfing, along with the rest of the motley big wave crew. Great news for James Taylor, who gets in via the Video Invitee Alternates. Grant Twiggy Baker is out of the event. Watch them live at www.worldsurfleague.com 

With the swell projected to fill in all day along the Southern California coast, sets at Todos Santos are expected to be massive.

Surfline Forecaster Kevin Wallis said: "We expect to see strong, long period west-northwest swell build through the day on Sunday, with the largest waves in the afternoon. The better set waves, while likely lully, will be in the 30-40' range on the face with some even larger max sets possible." 

This will be the first BWT event at Todos Santos since 2010, when Mark Healey (HAW) took top honors. Current Big Wave World Champion Makuakai Rothman is one surfer who is extremely excited to make his Todos Santos debut. Last year he was just an alternate. This year he doesn't need to worry about his slot. "It looks like another one of those big righthand waves that I love to surf," he said. "It's on. Game time!"
