During the winter season in Europe, the worlds biggest waves occur in Nazaré, Portugal. Due to the special canyon form of the bottom of the ocean, the waves can reach heights of over 35 meters (110 ft) and can be observed from very close distance. When you stand at the iconic lighthouse of Nazaré, you can feel the ground trembling underneath you when the gigantic waves crash on to the clifs. This day in January 2018 probably the biggest wave ever was surfed by Hugo Vau from Portugal.
