The seventh day of competition at the 2024 PASA Pan American Surfing Games saw action in the Longboard and Shortboard categories for both men and women.

The semi-finals of this category were defined early in the day, made up of Benoit Clemente from Peru, Daniel Batista from Brazil and Lucas Garrido-Lecca from Peru, and the second semi-final has José Manuel Boza and Rafaél Cortéz, both from Chile, and Julian Schweizer from Uruguay.
