HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., March 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surfline is proud to announce its role as the Official Forecaster of the 2015 WSL Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour.
The 2015 season of the World Surf League kicked off last week in Australia at the Gold Coast's most popular surf destination, Snapper Rocks. Chief meteorologist Mark Willis and the Surfline forecast team are developing in-depth forecasts for the event as well as a feature about the mechanics behind the infamous right point-break.
