WCSC Grom Festival 2025 is ON
Get ready for an epic day of grom surfing at Coney
The Welsh Coast Surf Club is thrilled to announce that the WCSC Grom Festival 2025 is officially ON for Saturday 5 July at Coney Beach, Porthcawl.
We've got groms from across Wales coming together for this, the first stop in the Welsh Junior Surf Series, with age categories for tomorrow including:
- U10 Mixed
- U12, U14, U16, U18 (each category for Boys, and for Girls)
- U18 Longboard Girls
- U18 Longboard Boys
Coney's sheltered from SW winds which will help the summer swell hitting tomorrow, and setting the scene for an awesome day of fun and competition.
Cast no shadow
Looks like we're in for some rain as well according to Derek the Weather, so ponchos, dry robes and brollies at the ready. We'll just have to roll with it!
Check in opens at 10am tomorrow for the U12s-U18s categories, with competitors ready to go for Heat 1 at 11am sharp.
Please note that check in for U10s opens at 3pm. But please come down for the day, cheer on our groms, and soak up the atmosphere (and not too much rain).
We have had the great problem of receiving a high number of entries, which is fantastic. But if you are no longer able to attend, please let organisers know as soon as possible so that we can manage the draw to best effect.
Running order and heat draws will be posted later – keep an eye on updates from @Tim Aylett, who will be sharing the link.
Live scoring will be running throughout the event, and we're delighted to have on board Tiki, Balsa Surf, PM Surf, Porthcawl Surf, and Elusive, supplying some fantastic prizes.
We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow for what promises to be an unforgettable day of surf, sun, and stoke!
