Canyon-focused big-wave spot — the Nazaré Canyon funnels and amplifies swell energy in a way a standard wave model and our sizeFactor cannot represent; treat this forecast as indicative only, never trust it for actual size, and never send anyone but a tow team here.
Hazards giant surf · extreme currents · tow-only on big days · closeout / no safe channel on the largest swells · rocks at the point below the fort
