Officially Praia do Norte - Nazaré, though commonly referred to as just "Nazaré". Known worldwide for offering up huge, rideable surf ever since Garrett McNamara's incredible Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Award winning ride there in 2011. When huge west swells arrive with a hint of north angle, the waves become magnified by a deep canyon that refracts and concentrates their energy into magnificent A-frames that are close to surreal.
