The Incredible 100 Foot Waves of Nazaré, Portugal

Due to the presence of an offshore canyon, the area around Nazaré on Portugal's Central Coast is known for some of the largest waves ever seen in the Atlantic Ocean.  That's why it's not only widely considered to be Europe's top surfing spot, but holds numerous records for the highest waves ever surfed.  In this video by AirVuz contributor MCYDRO | FPV • DRONE, you'll see the surfing scene in the wake of Storm Herminia, a major winter storm which caused damage across western Europe and some truly monstrous waves aropund Nazaré.

Brand-new contributor MCYDRO | FPV • DRONE brings us this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone video of one of the top surfing spots in Europe.  The video was filmed near Nazaré, which is located roughly in the middle of Portugal's long Atlantic coastline.  This is the heart of the Silver Coast, a stretch of coastline which produces some of the world's largest waves due to the presence of an underwater canyon.  Surfers have broken numerous records here for riding the largest waves, reaching (officially) up to 86 ft. (26 m).   

With its spectacular rock formations, cove beaches, and iconic lighthouses, Portugal offers some of the finest coastal scenery in Europe, much of it perfect for adventurous (and expeienced) FPV drone pilots.  In this video by AirVuz contributor Scottyblue77, you'll ride along for an epic tour of Portugal's Atlantic coastline on a trip that ran from the surfing capital of Nazaré in the central part of the coast, down through the Portuguese Riviera near Lisbon, and continuing into the Algarve, Metropolitan Portugal's southernmost region.   

AirVuz contributor CanariasDron brings us this stunning drone video of the legendary beach town of Nazaré on the central coast of Portugal.  Located less than a two hour drive north of Lisbon, the town is blessed with an underwater canyon just offshore which causes the waves of the Atlantic Ocean to break in a manner which has helped turn this small fishing village into one of the top surfing spots in Europe.  The video features some epic footage of Nazaré Light, a lighthouse built in the early 1900's atop a 16th century fortress.
