The WSL Corona Cero Open at Jeffreys Bay ignites thrilling competition with top surfers vying for glory.

The 2025 World Surf League (WSL) Corona Cero Open has kicked off at the legendary Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, marking a thrilling return to this iconic venue after a year-long hiatus due to the Olympics. Known for its breathtaking sections like Boneyards, Supertubes, Impossibles, the Point, and Albatross, Jeffreys Bay offers a unique playground for surfers, featuring fast racing walls and hollow barrels that promise high-speed rides and exhilarating performances.

Among the competitors, local hero Jordy Smith stands out as a two-time J-Bay champion, currently riding a wave of momentum with two victories this season and consistent top-16 finishes. He faces fierce competition from the likes of Brazilian Filipe Toledo, the reigning 2023 champion, and Italo Ferreira, who, despite a strong start, has seen his form wane recently. The opening heats have included a star-studded lineup featuring Italo Ferreira, Jake Marshall, Seth Moniz, and Kanoa Igarashi, yet wave scores remain under wraps to keep the suspense alive.

As the competition heats up, overhead surf conditions are forecasted for July 12, promising to elevate the stakes. Fans can catch all the action live on surfing platforms, with organizers expecting full days of competition. With Jordy Smith favored to win, the atmosphere is electric, as Jeffreys Bay prepares to host yet another chapter in surfing history, a venue known for unforgettable moments like Kelly Slater`s four victories and Mick Fanning`s infamous shark encounter. This event is a crucial stop on the WSL Championship Tour, influencing the overall standings and showcasing the best talent in the sport.
