After beginning on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, at surfing’s spiritual home of Pipeline, the 2025 CT visits locations old and new, taking in nine countries across 11 regular-season events and the WSL Finals. The schedule continues to place the Mid-season Cut after Western Australia. A full seven events will run before the reduced field competes for a spot in the Final 5 during the remaining four events.

“We’ve built this schedule to include more events and feature a variety of breaks,” said Ryan Crosby, WSL CEO. “We’ve brought back some of the Tour’s most desirable locations, while aligning dates with favorable swell windows, to open up more opportunity for quality surf. We’ll see a great mix of locations from heavy-water barrels, to high-performance waves, and pristine point breaks. It’ll be an exciting showcase of the world’s best surfing featuring the incredible CT talent. We can’t wait to kick off in January 2025. See you at Pipe.”
