Study suggests Vini dos Santos may have ridden a 100-foot wave in Nazaré Surfer and oceanographer Douglas Nemes developed a scientific method for measuring wave height in extreme surfing conditions.

Did Nic Von Rupp ride the biggest wave ever at Nazaré? The Portuguese surfer was one of the first out at Nazaré when the swell generated by Storm Hermínia peaked on the last days of January. Is his wave big enough for a Guinness World Record?
