TROPICAL CYCLONE SEROJA PROVIDES A WET BUT WONDERFUL FINISH TO THE WOOLWORTHS WA JUNIOR SURF TITLES AT TRIGG POINT

Some of WA’s best young surfers have battled through a weekend of contrasting conditions at Trigg Beach, as the second event of the 2021 Woolworths WA Junior Surf Titles presented by SunSmart concluded with three State Champions crowned along Perth’s metropolitan beaches yesterday.

Small and sunny surf on Saturday made the going tough, but as Tropical Cyclone Seroja tracked south along the WA coastline, it brought a change in conditions for Sunday’s finals. Overcast skies and drizzling rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the hoard of frothing grommets who highlighted an exciting weekend of competition.
