Did they totally cancel it, or is it just on hold to see if the swell builds?

Edit: Looks like it is called off..

Canceled for today.

Main brunt of swell prob wont hit for at least another 8 hrs.

Not the first time it has been called off the day of.

Bummer, but the swell will still be pretty significant, and we got the Mavericks contest finally on Friday. The stupid-bowl was the reason Mav's got called off last weekend.

Check out the web cam....looks fun right now.

The swell is hitting the NW buoy now, the event is almost sure to go off this time unless it gets too big.
