Wave Rave Surf Contest - El Porto 2027

About this event

Wave Rave Surf Contest is the third stop of the South Bay Boardriders Club's 2026-27 Surf Series, scheduled at El Porto in Manhattan Beach on Saturday, February 6, 2027. The current first-party series page identifies Wave Rave as host and lists 11 family-friendly divisions from Micro Grom Assist through Legends, including shortboard and longboard opportunities for youth and adults. Current per-contest prices are $70 for SBBC members, $90 for non-members and $30 for each extra division. The organizer says registration opens soon: no current single-event checkout, entry deadline, capacity, waitlist or walk-up policy is published, and the visible bulk-entry checkout still names the prior 2025-26 season, so it is not treated as active registration for this event. Heat times and the event schedule are expected on LiveHeats about 24 hours before competition; exact start/end times, contest bank, tower, check-in point, heat format, awards timing and finalist count remain TBA. The series awards points to every competitor, with published examples running from 1,000 points for first through 583 for sixth, and crowns division champions at season end. Spectating is at a public beach and no admission ticket is announced, but parking fees and posted beach rules remain separate. Los Angeles County identifies El Porto as the north end of Manhattan Beach and a popular surf spot, while the city lists a 238-space El Porto lot. Wave Rave's official site lists a Los Angeles store in the South Bay; the current event card is the controlling source for its role as this contest's host. Recheck the official series page, LiveHeats and organizer Instagram before registering or traveling.
