Championship Tour (CT) Commissioner Kieren Perrow called competition off for the first day of the event window for the Oi Rio Pro and Oi Rio Women's Pro.
"Small conditions today but we anticipate the swell to fill in over the next few days," he said. "The banks look good so once we have some swell on them, we should see some great surfing. We'll be back tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. to reassess conditions."
According to Surfline, the next few days should see bigger waves at Barra da Tijuca:
