Surfers have again been forced to sit at the Fiji Pro after low swells forced a third consecutive lay day to be called.
And things don't look like getting better any time soon at Cloudbreak, with World Surf League organisers warning the one-metre swell doesn't show any signs of improving before Monday.
"Unfortunately today is another one of those really small days," commissioner Kieren Perrow said.
"We will be off again today and we will come back tomorrow morning to reassess, which is likely looking like another one off."
The previously anticipated rise in waves over the weekend also now looks like falling through with wind conditions expected to be unfavourable.
It's likely to leave organisers with a three-day window to complete the event, beginning next Monday, where swells are expected to increase before falling off again on Thursday - with the event window closing next Friday.
Australian Matt Banting will compete against 2014 world champion Gabriel Medina in the first heat of the third round when surfing does resume, before Mick Fanning takes on Adam Melling in an all-Aussie clash.
The retiring Taj Burrow is due to face Hawaiian John John Florence, while Aussie Josh Kerr will take on Frenchman Jeremy Flores in another do-or-die battle.
Fellow Australians Adrian Buchan and world ratings leader Matt Wilkinson will take on Brazilians Miguel Pupo and Alejo Muniz, respectively.
