The 47-year-old fell while surfing the infamous Atlantic waves near Praia do Norte, a beach in Nazaré. RELATED: Veteran surfer Marcio Freire dies riding big waves in Nazaré, Portugal The destination was made popular in the HBO series "100 Foot Wave." Last month, veteran Brazilian surfer Marcio Freire died while surfing giant waves in Nazaré - another popular surfing location located on the central coast of Portugal. "It’s amazing, it’s really cool to see and it’s such a rare and prestigious event, and there’s a lot of energy and a lot of buzz around, for sure," he said.
By local scale, they’ll call those waves 25 feet - and we’ve seen a couple sets like that already," Kevin Wallis, director of forecasting at, said by phone Sunday morning. "We’ve been looking at 30-foot to 40-foot wave faces for the most part, (and) the biggest waves of the day are going to be in excess of 45 feet. One huge wave swept onto the beach and hit a family, sweeping a baby under a house, but the child was not injured, Hawaii News Now reported. On Sunday, the sets were already big, with the swell expected to grow as the day went on, and an estimated 60,000 people packed the beaches and surrounding area to catch a glimpse of the spectacle.
