The 2019 edition of the special women's big wave event, the Red Bull Queen of the Bay, has on its main list of guests the Colombian Isabella Gómez and the Guatemalan, Polly Kai Ralda

According to Surfline, the waiting period for this year's event runs from October 1 to November 21.

The period was extended after two instances in which Waimea Bay failed to wake up to the 15 feet required for the event.

All the guests are as follows:

• Izzi Gomez, USA
• Paulina Ralda, Guatemala
• Keala Kennelly, Hawaii
• Makani Adric, Hawaii
• Paige Alms, Hawaii
• Justine Dupont, France
• Emily Erickson, Hawaii
• Michaela Fregonese, Brazil
• Brittany Gomulka, USA
• Wrenna Delgado, USA
• Kelta O'Rourke, Hawaii
• Raquel Heckert, Brazil
• Bianca Valenti, USA
• Jamilah Star, Hawaii
• Momo Sakuma, Japan
• Nicole Pacelli, Brazil
• Andrea Moller, Hawaii
• Silvia Nambuco, Brazil
• Felicity Palmateer, Australia
• Laura Enever, Australia

Ralda from Guatemala will have a great challenge in being part of the event because she is seven months pregnant, as she herself reported on her social networks.

According to the aforementioned forecasting site, Surfline, the fact that the waiting period for waves has been extended makes it very likely that the tournament will finally take place this time.
