Tropical Storm Cristina disrupted the schedule mid-event, flooding the coast with heavy rain and turning the lineup brown with river runoff. When the waves did come — glassy six-to-eight-foot walls wrapping around the point — quality over quantity rewarded patience and punished hesitation.

But Callum Robson put together a strong quarter-final run, taking down two teammates along the way, and Molly Picklum pushed deep into the semis, continuing the form that has her sitting third in the world.
