Seas The Day women’s surf comp returns to the beautiful Kingscliff Beach, on Saturday and Sunday, 20 and 21 June.
Now in its fourth year, organisers say the event ‘promises to be a vibrant, empowering, and uplifting experience for women of all abilities’.
‘The festival space will be buzzing with entertainment and dynamic HUBS, where keynote speakers dive into everything from the ins and outs of successful careers, training regimes, film and photography, mental well-being, and much more.’
$110,000 in support
The NSW Labor government said they have contributed $110,000 in support of the event.
‘The women’s surf competition focuses on creating a pressure-free, fun and inclusive environment while parents can also get involved to assist under-14s to catch waves,’ said a spokesperson.
‘The free festival will see family-friendly surf film screenings, live music and entertainment running across the weekend, alongside talks from female professional surfers, leaders in wellness, sustainability and photography.
‘A crowd favourite, the Celebrity Surf Challenge also returns in 2026, with world champions, media personalities, and Olympians hitting the water.’
