EVENT

The World Surf League (WSL) TUDOR Nazaré Big Wave Challenge, a specialty one-day team event, is on standby for a potential run day on Tuesday, February 18. With the large NW swell and favorable wind conditions heading toward the world-famous Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal, there is high confidence to see the competition run on Tuesday.

The WSL Commissioner’s Office is closely monitoring the upcoming swell to determine if the conditions will produce consistent waves with a minimum of 25 feet on the face of the wave. If the conditions continue to track favorably, the Green Alert will be issued. A Green Alert means the competition will be ON within 24 hours, and fans can prepare to watch surfers push the limits of what is possible on one of the world’s most iconic big waves. The next call will be made on Monday, February 17 at 10:00 a.m. for a possible start on Tuesday, February 18 at 10:00 a.m. GMT.
