Megatsunamis: World's Biggest Wave

Megatsunamis are not only much larger than your average tsunami, they also form under different conditions. Good news: they’re extremely rare. Bad news: they might not be for long.

Nazaré is known for hosting the biggest waves on the planet, which is why the best big wave surfers from around the world gather here quite often. This time we visited when WSL (World Surf League) was on, which was an absolute epic experience.
Watching these insane surfers ride the biggest waves in the world is something everyone has to experience.

Biggest Waves I've EVER Seen at the Wedge in Newport Beach

The Wedge, Biggest Waves I’ve seen there.
I shot both Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th.
I watched the surf reports for a couple weeks, saw the swell but wasn’t expecting this!
I woke up way too early on Saturday July 4th to chase this swell hoping that it would at least bring overhead plus waves. The 4:30am alarm was worth it.
Surfers include: Jamie O’Brien, Blair Conklin, Brad Domke, Kenny Kuypers, Tyler Thornsley and others.
I’ve chased plenty of waves at the Wedge in Newport Beach but gotta admit, this swell brought some of the largest waves that I’ve seen there.
