Any time you read an article or see a video of someone setting a record for surfing the tallest wave in history, they are probably doing it down the beach from this beautiful spot, complements of a large underwater canyon (the Nazaré canyon). Waves of over 60′ / 18 m crest to trough are not unusual – the world record is from here and is 80′ (24.4 m). A few waves of over 100′ / 30 m have been measured here. In 2021, HBO released a documentary about chasing those gargantuan waves
