Watch: Italo Ferreira, Ethan Ewing, Erin Brooks And Various CTers Warm-Up In Peniche

A slow moving storm, known locally as DANA, has spent the past week drenching the Iberian peninsula in rain — and buffeting it’s surf lineups with wind.

“Unfortunately, this week’s deluge is only the beginning,” reports EuroWeekly. “Another DANA is set to roll in from the northwest on Friday, carrying a cold upper low of polar origin. This shift in the weather pattern will likely stall over western Iberia, feeding in more heavy rainfall and even mountain snow across both Spain and Portugal.”

In our provincial periphery of polyurethane, this weekend also marks the beginning of the waiting period for the third event of the 2025 Championship Tour — the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal.

Above, you can watch the world’s best warming up in conditions that may well depict what we’ll be seeing through the competition window.
