If today was a Scottish band that was popular in the late 80's up until the mid 90's, then it would be ‘Wet Wet Wet'.

So yes, you'll want to pack a brolly and a coat if you plan to head out to enjoy the range of great events taking place today, like the final round of the Billabong Grom Series or the Quadrilateral Football Tournament involving Tauranga City United Senior 1st team in Mount Maunganui.

Several Bay of Plenty surfers are in with a chance of winning their respective divisions in the final event of the Billabong Grom Series which kicked off at Mount Maunganui's Tay Street Beach this morning.

Bay surfers in the thick of it this weekend include Tauranga's Callum Chuter and the Mount's Jonas Tawharu, Elin Tawharu, Dylan Preston, William Van Der Beek, Tiana - Breeze de Mooij and Anna Brock who're all in the top five of their respective divisions.

After a summer drought of waves forced a postponement earlier in the season, there should be no shortage of swell at Tay Street with the heavens forecast to open up today and tomorrow. But despite the adverse weather, near record levels of surfers have entered the final event of the series.

The Billabong Grom Series presented by Oceanbridge hits the waves at Tay Street Beach in Mount Manganui today and tomorrow, March 11-12, from 8am – 5pm daily.
