Praia do Norte, Nazaré · Monday 2 November

The canyon is quiet.

Biggest about 8 m Saturday 14 Nov, still uncertain. Nothing clean and giant in the 14-day models. A bigger but messy swell around Tuesday 10 Nov (about 11 m) stays stormy: the swell comes from the south-west, and the canyon only focuses swell from the west and north-west.

What would make it bigger?
