That little speck in the middle of the photograph is pro surfer Garrett
McNamara surfing a humongous wave off the Praia do Norte beach in Nazare,
Portugal. The wave, reported to be around 100 ft tall, is a record breaker
(the previous record, also held by McNamara, was a wave 78 feet tall):
In the small town of Nazaré, on Portugal’s Atlantic coast,
a single red lighthouse stands at the shoreline. The small road leading
to the lighthouse is, on any normal day, completely deserted. But on
Monday, hundreds of people packed the road — photographers and
spectators — as the huge swells battered the rocky shoreline.
But most cameras seemed unable to capture the height of the sea from
such a close vantage point — lauded surf photographer To Mane
took a much wider angle, ultimately capturing a stunning view of McNamara’s
ride atop the unfathomable wave.
