Fiji’s world-famous Cloudbreak will take centre stage this week as the globe’s best surfers descend for the Lexus WSL Finals Fiji Presented by Corona Cero, where the 2025 men’s and women’s World Titles will be decided.

As the final stop of the Championship Tour, the one-day, winner-take-all showdown will run on the best day of waves between August 27 and September 4.

Hosting the finals, Fiji’s pristine reef break offers the perfect arena, with its heavy barrels and raw Pacific energy, to crown new champions.
