It's business time down on the beach for the Australian Open of Surfing today and it's going to get more critical as we cruise through the weekend.  There's bankable US bucks and hard earned WSL points on offer from now until Sunday. Narrabeen's Cooper Chapman won through to Round 5 in the Mens this morning and Holly Wawn will fly the flag for Bungan Beach along with defending champion Laura Enever in Rd 5 of the Women's later today.

The waves are much the same as yesterday, 2ft and contestable.  There's a little hint of South Swell and hopefully prospects of a bump in east swell across the weekend.
