If there's one man who knows a thing or two about the top-to-bottom tunnels on the Goldy it is the multiple world champion and Cooly elder Mick Fanning.
Unfortunately it still looks like the first leg of the WSL will not be comparatively quite as blessed. For 2015 the best swell of the current event window (starting gun pops on Feb 28 and checkered flag drops on Match 11) is forecast to arrive the day before (Feb 27) and stick around for day one, before entering a declining phase with another pulse around the end of the week. Hopefully things will upgrade towards the back end of the window.
