The ISA Junior World Championships, taking place from November 24 to December 3 at the Macumba waves in Rio de Janeiro, are forecast to start off fun and finish challenging, according to the world's leading forecaster, Surfline.

From the 24th to the 29th a southerly swell will hit Rio de Janeiro with waves in the range of 2 to 26 feet (from hip to head height), with the XNUMXth being the day with the largest waves and all of these days with good wind conditions.

From the 30th to the 3rd, the final day of the event, the tournament in Macumba will be challenging with waves ranging from 0 to 1 foot.

This leads us to hope that the event director will compress a marathon of series for the first days of the championship on the two podiums located in Macumba and then focus the event on the bench that is most reasonable in the classic Rio break.

Below is the extended forecast detail:
