Garrett McNamara Sets the Record Straight on the '100-Foot' Wave in Nazaré, Portugal 

Solid 6-8ft

Regardless of the numbers , it looked like a monster and you sliced that beast !!

Wave of a lifetime! Garrett is a great guy and incredible surfer.

I think that was wave was around 2........2 damn big!

Great vid and description of getting barreled, anyone know the name of the intro music?

What a humble man.

Some guys try to measure the ‘back of the wave.’ Some use buoy readings. Some guesstimate the front of the breaking wave (the part you’re actually on). Hawaiians used the back of the wave then cut that in half, in a sort of reverse machismo and to dissuade Californians and others from coming. Some overestimate the size wave they’ve ridden bc it can be hard to accurately guess. Others bullshit. Wave period and whether it’s a reef or beach can greatly affect the size of the breaker. So, to me it’s simple: surf spots usually have multiple riders. It’s relatively easy to come up with a fairly accurate height for the front of a breaking wave with a rider. That’s the size of the wave.

A few of comments: 1. Big wave, way to go Garrett. 2. I've seen lots of video and photos of the big wave in question, I'd guestimate it around 80 feet which is ridiculously huge. 3. Garrett, you weren't 10 feet from the rocks.

Simply awesome love his comments a true surfer. That barrels are better than large waves. It was simply wonderful footage and a memorable ride on a massive moving mountain of water it looks 70-80 feet to me but massive nevertheless

I liked his comments about being in the barrel!! For me, thats what its all about. Time sense changes, it seems to stop, and /or speed up!!, Do you breathe?? Yes, but i never was sure of that until watching gopro barrels and listening!! Its totally altered reality for those seconds:) LOVE IT:)
