The 2024 World Surf League is the 47th season of all iterations of the tour circuit for professional surfers. Billabong Pipe Masters will be the first round of the tour.^[1]

For the fourth time, the season will end at Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, USA, with the top five seeded men and women from the season going head to head to determine the champion at the WSL Finals.^[2]

Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks are the defending champions.

The 2024 CT will include nine regular-season events in seven countries. The Mid-season Cut will come into action following Stop No. 5 in Margaret River, Australia. Surfers who make the Cut will compete in Tahiti, El Salvador, and Brazil before a break for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The final event of the regular season will see the world's best surfers return to the iconic Cloudbreak in Fiji and battle for a place in the WSL Finals.^[3]
