The O'Neill Cold Water Classic is an ASP 4-Star WQS Mens event.  With epic storm conditions threatening the Cape of Storms, the action is looking pretty awesome with fast, heavy swells.

With the latest weather updates, it looks like the surfers gathered here in Cape Town will be seeing the best of the wildest competition in professional surfing over the next few days, as the storm and swell show no signs of letting off.


“We’re still headed for a meaty two days Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Spike. “It’s going to be powerful, heaving, and broken. Scary stuff.”


Now on a roll, John John Florence, used to the power and size of his home turf – the North Shore of Hawaii – is looking forward to the surf, which is forecast at 20-30 foot at 14 second intervals, but not necessarily all that comes with it.


"It would be great to see the swell like that,” said John John.
