Surfers flocked to the popular surfing destination of Nazare’s ‘Praia do Norte’on Thursday, as a historic swell derived from the remnants of hurricane Epsilon hit the coastline.

Fans and surfers headed to the hills and were seen looking on as surfers descended down the colossal waves.

“Today the waves were like 5 meters with 20 seconds without wind and sunny. Especially, when it gets that big, it’s kind of stormy and windy. And this time it’s pretty clean and no wind and sunny. That’s why so many people showed up to watch this show,” an attendee said.

The famous surfing spot, located in the central coast of Portugal, is home to the biggest surfable waves on the planet. Brazilian surfer Ricardo Koxa set a world record for the biggest wave ever surfed in 2017 by overcoming an impressive 24 metre (80 foot) wave in Nazare.

I always thought that the day would come where we would see a huge huge swell with clean offshore winds.
Since I remember looking at weather and storm maps Ive never ever seen a forecast of conditions like this and Mother Nature delivered some of the craziest cleanest waves ever seen at Nazaré.
A day for the history books, swells like this happen very few times in a lifetime.

So happy to witness this day and see everyone back to shore safe.
