"With the event relocation from the populated town of Mancora to the desert of Lobitos, we have been faced with some climatic challenges overnight,” Richie Porta, ASP Women’s World Tour Head Judge, said. “Wind damage has affected the site structure and operations so with the forecast looking better for the days ahead, the contest is today postponed and we will check back in tomorrow at 7am for a possible start." 

Amee Donohoe (AUS), 28, has withdrawn from the event due to injury. Her position will be filled by the Runner-Up from the Movistar Peru Classic Trials, scheduled to be finished by 10am today.
