Nazaré Big Wave Challenge Goes on Yellow Alert for 'Probable' Monday Start


A yellow alert has been issued for the "TUDOR Nazaré Big Wave Challenge" set in Nazaré, Portugal, which has entered a waiting period from November 6th!

According to Surfline, a west-northwest swell is expected to enter Nazaré from late January 21st local time, reaching its peak between the 22nd and 23rd.

Good conditions can be expected as the wind is ideal offshore.

BWT's 2023/2024 season features two races: the TUDOR Jaws Big Wave Challenge, set in Nazare and Maui's Jaws (Peʻahi).

The format of the two races is different, with Nazaré being a toe-in team match.

Jaws will be an individual paddle competition.

Will the strongest duo of Kai Lenny and Brazilian Chambo, Lucas Cianca, dominate this season?

Wait for the green alert that tells you 48 hours before the event!
