Hello SUPer SURFers!!!

This video can see the incredible size of the largest wave in the world Nazaré, this wave is as big as the most powerful Tsunami in the world!

What produces the giant wave of Nazaré?

Year after year, the expectation grows for the giant waves of Nazaré, which receive the bravest surfers in the world. But what explains the formation of these water walls up to 30 meters high in the north of Portugal?

One hundred kilometers north of Lisbon, Nazaré receives the giant waves generated by the storms of the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of kilometers away. What makes the waves so much bigger in the region than in other parts of the Portuguese coast is the presence of a submerged canyon: the famous Nazaré canyon.

“Canyons are geomorphological formations normally associated with soil erosion caused by a river. In Nazaré, the origin may be tectonic, that is, the crack opened by an earthquake millions of years ago,” explains geologist Lucca Cunha.
To understand why the canyon is important for the formation of giant waves, it is necessary to understand the contrast between the seabed of the beaches of Nazaré and the north.

In the Nazaré beach is the canyon, with a depth that varies from 50 meters to almost 5,000 meters. Meanwhile, on the North beach, the bottom is the much shallow continental shelf.
Due to the depth, the waves that travel over the Nazaré canyon do not lose speed and change direction. The waves traveling on the continental shelf lose speed and do not change direction. Both are in front of the Nazaré lighthouse, 200 meters from the beach. This union causes the peak to increase even more. This is the main factor for the massive conditions in Nazaré.

In November 2011, Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a record 24-meter giant wave from the canal to the ridge in Nazaré. In January 2013 a wave was estimated to have measured a maximum height of 30 meters at the same location and possibly exceeded the size of its previous record wave. But On January 10, 2015 Benjamin Sanchis set a new record by surfing a 33-meter wave.

Este video se puede apreciar el increíble tamaño de la ola más grande del mundo Nazaré, esta ola es tan grande, como el Tsunami mas poderoso del mundo!

¿Qué produce la ola gigante de Nazaré?

Año a año, crece la expectativa por las olas gigantes de Nazaré, que reciben a los más valientes surfistas del mundo. Pero, ¿qué explica la formación de estas paredes de agua de hasta 30 metros de altura en el norte de Portugal?

Cien kilómetros al norte de Lisboa, Nazaré recibe las olas gigantes generadas en las tormentas del Océano Atlántico, a cientos de kilómetros de distancia. Lo que hace que las olas sean mucho más grandes en la región que en otras partes de la costa portuguesa es la presencia de un cañón sumergido: el famoso cañón de Nazaré.

“Los cañones son formaciones geomorfológicas normalmente asociadas con la erosión del suelo causada por un río. En Nazaré, el origen puede ser tectónico, es decir, la grieta abierta por un terremoto hace millones de años”, explica la geóloga Lucca Cunha.
Para entender por qué el cañón es importante para la formación de olas gigantes, es necesario comprender el contraste entre el fondo marino de las playas de Nazaré y el norte.

En la playa de Nazaré se encuentra el cañón, con una profundidad que varía de 50 metros a casi 5.000 metros. Mientras tanto, en la playa del Norte, el fondo es la plataforma continental, mucho menos profunda.
Debido a la profundidad, las olas que viajan sobre el cañón de Nazaré no pierden velocidad y cambian de dirección. Las olas que viajan sobre la plataforma continental pierden velocidad y no cambian de dirección. Ambos se encuentran frente al faro de Nazaré, a 200 metros de la playa. Esta unión hace que el pico aumente aún más. Este es el factor principal para las condiciones masivas en Nazaré.

En noviembre de 2011, el surfista hawaiano Garrett McNamara surfeó una ola gigante récord de 24 metros del canal a la cresta, en Nazaré. En enero de 2013 se estimó que una ola había medido una altura máxima de 30 metros en el mismo lugar y posiblemente superó el tamaño de su ola récord anterior. Pero El 10 de enero de 2015 Benjamin Sanchis hizo un nuevo récord surfeando una ola de 33 metros.
