Praia do Norte Kitefoil Forecast
Nazaré · Portugal
Praia do Norte scores 85/100 for kitefoil today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces W. The world's premier big-wave venue: a wild, unsupervised Atlantic beach break where the offshore Nazaré Submarine Canyon amplifies westerly groundswells to record heights, with a right-hander driving surfers toward exposed rocks. Swimming is effectively off-limits — the sea is dangerous and tourists have drowned — with no permanent lifeguard station. In the big-wave season (Nov-March) a safety plan runs; surfers must give 72 hours' notice.
