MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal formerly known as Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal or Rip Curl Pro Portugal is a professional surfing competition of the ASP World Tour held every year in October at the Supertubos beach in Peniche, Portugal. The event was first founded in 2009 as Rip Curl Search Portugal. The defending champion is the brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina who won the event in 2017.
In 2016, due to the lack of surfing conditions on Supertubos beach, the WSL organization explored other possibilities in the peninsula and moved temporarly to Point Fabril, between Almagreira and Pico da Mota, where the waves were big and curly providing a good show for the spectators. The Round 5 of the event was done there, then the conditions on Supertubos came back, and the competition returned to its normality.
