The 2023 World Surf League was the 46th season of all iterations of the tour circuit for professional surfers. Billabong Pipe Masters was the first round of the tour.

For the third time, the season ended at Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, USA, where the top five seeded men and women from that season went head to head to determine the champion at the WSL Finals.

Filipe Toledo and Stephanie Gilmore were the defending champions. Toledo successfully retained his title whereas Caroline Marks was crowned women's champion for the first time.

The 2023 season also contributed towards qualification for the 2024 Summer Olympics, where surfing made its second appearance as an Olympic sport. The top ten surfers in the men's final standings and the top eight surfers in the women's final standings earned quota places at the Olympics, subject to a maximum of two men and two women per NOC.
