The second day of the competition in Santa Cruz, Portugal, was entirely dedicated to the women's division, with the non-elimination opening round taking place. Unlike the previous day, the waves were much better, with clean faces, no wind — perfect for showcasing top-level surfing.

The standout performer of the day was Charlotte Mulley (ENG), who scored above 7 points on two waves, making a powerful impression. Her performance embodied the essence of high-performance competitive surfing, showcasing sharp wave reading, commitment, flow, control and a touch of risk.

Another consistent standout was Noa Leilor (ISR), who posted four waves scoring over 5 points, demonstrating solid technique and smart wave selection throughout her heat.

While it’s too early to draw conclusions from this first round, some nations are already demonstrating the strength of their squads. Germany, Portugal, England and the Netherlands each had two surfers among the top ten performers of the day.

What’s next?

Tomorrow will feature a double podium format to speed up the competition.

• Men’s division: Rounds 1 & 2
• Women’s division: Round 2 + Repechages 1 & 2
• Longboard division: Repechages from Round 1

Competition resumes at 9:15 am on Santa Cruz Beach !

EuroSurf 2025 is part of the Ocean Spirit Festival, a must-see event for board sports and music that has been taking place for over 17 years on the beach of Santa Cruz. The programme includes national and international competitions on the waves, with surfing, skimboarding, longboarding and bodysurfing promising thrills for those watching the events from the sand.

There is a strong focus on experimentation and training, both on the sand and in the pool integrated into the Aldeia Neptuno park.
