Upcoming Surf Event and Potential Cancelation due to Rugby Match: Latest Updates and Information

The next call is set for this Friday, August 25, at 12 p.m., with a small hope of seeing the Basque QS 3,000 resume, or even end. But the WSL is especially eyeing Sunday, the last of the waiting period, to conclude the event, which has already reached the quarter-final stage in both tables, men’s and women’s.

Because of rugby

Scheduled to take place on Saturday August 26 or Sunday August 27, the Caraïbos Surf de nuit will not take place on Saturday evening, whatever happens. The reason is not linked to the weather or swell forecast, but to security: the police mobilized primarily for the Ireland-Samoa rugby match at the Jean-Dauger stadium in Bayonne the same evening, they were not more in sufficient numbers to support the atypical event in Anglet on the beach of Les Sables d’or. Some 20,000 people gather there at nightfall during each edition to admire male and female surfers sliding on boards equipped with LEDs.

If, on the other hand, the waves are not there on Sunday evening, or if the weather conditions do not allow it to be held, the 2023 edition of Night Surfing will be purely and simply cancelled.
