Eight-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore will have to wait a little longer at J-Bay in her quest to make the World Surf League finals and defend her title.
The men's opening round of the Corona Open at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa got underway on Thursday while the women's event was held over due to deteriorating conditions in the afternoon.
Gilmore arrived at Supertubes in sixth position in the standings with the top five surfers to contest the tour's finals in the US in September.
