After 12 o'clock, the southwest wind started to blow in earnest, and the waves were noticeable. The success or failure of this wave is determined by how well you can assess the wave and take action. Today's events ranged from heat 7 of the men's round of 64 into the men's round of 32 and ending the day with the completion of the women's round of 16.
