Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Thousands of surf lovers flocked to Nazare beach on the north Portugal coast on Thursday for the first big swell of the season.

The big wave hotspot has long attracted surfers and tourists looking to experience the powerful force of nature, and Nazare’s fame has grown since American pro surfer Garrett McNamara broke the world record by riding the biggest wave of all time here in 2011.

The beach is optimal for surfing huge waves due to a geological phenomenon called the ‘Nazare Canyon’ – a deep fault that runs along the bottom of the sea and propels the swell of the Atlantic Ocean towards the coast.

Each winter Nazare welcomes professional surfers from around the world who come in search of the biggest waves at the Nazare Challenge – one of the legs on the World Surf League Big Wave Tour.

In Portugal masks have become mandatory outside in recent days with most people complying, but not all of them. In recent days Portugal also broke the daily record of Covid-19 cases, on Thursday alone registering a total of 4,222 cases.
