Seas the Day
Taking over Kingscliff Beach with 30 free inspiring workshops, this two-day surfing event features talks from iconic female athletes alongside a women's surf event with 300 competitors.
Overview
The world's largest female surfing participation event, Seas the Day, is back for its third year, taking over Kingscliff Beach from Saturday, June 21–Sunday, June 22. Sharing the stoke with women of all abilities, this free and family-friendly event attracted over 15,000 people last year, with the festival hoping to do even better in 2025.
On the schedule are 30 free workshops and talks involving a who's who of Australian surfing royalty. For instance, Layne Beachley will lead Awake Academy — a guided wellness program — while Wendy Botha will take part in a rare Q&A, delving into the life of one of surfing's most elusive female pioneers.
Meanwhile, Indigenous surfers Amber Mercy, Leihani Zoric, Bodhi Simon and Jodie Barsby will share their journey through Tides of Change, weaving tradition, storytelling and identity into their experience amid the waves. Then, environmental scientist and professional longboarder Tully White will join Belinda Baggs from Surfers for Climate for a chat on ocean advocacy.
Also taking place throughout the weekend is a massive surf competition, featuring over 300 competitors across numerous divisions. Exploring themes of health, wellness, empowerment and environmental awareness, expect Seas the Day to deliver an enriching community-led experience.
