A swell with some strength and accompanied by offshore wind is expected to provide waves with excellent formation, of medium* size (see legend below). With a long wave period, the waves should be well-spaced, wide, and cleanly formed. Although not very tall (for Nazaré), some big waves may still occur. This should provide good surfing sessions with or without jet ski assistance.

This forecast is a few days away and may change or shift in timing.

Swell increasing in power, expected to generate medium to big waves (see legend below).
However, strong winds and stormy conditions will disrupt the waves.
Some big waves are anticipated but no truly giant waves are expected.

Strong swell incoming, it should generate big waves *(see legend below), and they will be well-formed with the help of some offshore wind.
At the very least, there will be good medium-sized waves to surf.

A very strong swell is approaching, expected to generate giant waves* (see legend below).
Wave sets of approximately 15 meters are anticipated.
The afternoon of the 25th (Monday) is expected to have the largest waves, while the morning of the 26th (Tuesday) should still offer good conditions, with wave power gradually decreasing throughout the afternoon.
It won't be the "most giant sea ever," but the swell promises a very powerful ocean.
The forecast shows almost ideal wave direction, with some offshore winds contributing to good wave formation.

Check out this video from recent days by Nic Von Rupp, featuring many surfers and jet skis, packed with excitement and wipeouts:

3rd strong swell of the new big wave season for winter 2024/2025, since Saturday afternoon, expected to generate big* waves (see legend below), at least on sunday when the swell should be strongest.

2nd strong swell entering the new big wave season / winter 2024/2025, should generate big* waves (see legend below).
On the 17th (Thursday), there will be a lot of wind, which is expected to mess up the waves a bit.
However, on the 18th (Friday), the wind will drop significantly, allowing well-formed waves suitable for surfing, although the swell will already be decreasing in power.

This will be the first truly strong swell of the new big wave season for winter 2024/2025, which starts in October, as September was weak.

Finally, during this period, a swell is coming that promises to generate giant waves (see legend below), ranging from 12 to 15 meters high, starting in the afternoon in Portugal, but unfortunately they will be affected by the extreme wind caused by the remnants of Hurricane Kirk. It will be a stormy day, and there might not be any big wave surfing. This hurricane, which formed in the open Atlantic, will still reach the coast with strong winds.
The Atlantic Ocean is particularly active at the moment, with several major storms.

Continuation of the very strong swell from the previous day (already decreasing in intensity throughout the day), generated by Hurricane Kirk in the open sea, but this time with little wind on the coast, which should allow for the formation of well-shaped big waves, some around 10 meters, big but not giant.
There may be big wave surfing.
