It isn't a frequent phenomenom, and those waves tend to happen mostly in one of the beaches of the town - "Praia do Norte" (the name of the beach literaly translates as "Beach of the North", or, if you prefer, you can soft the translation to "Northern Beach"). That beach has a very specific nature, it has an underwater Canyon that ends on the beach.

Imagine back in the day being a fisherman coming in with a nice haul of fish and you decided to stop at the beach when there’s a lull. In a moment there’s a shadow cast over your vessel and you look back to see the ocean opening up. Sure it would also be terrifying now I can testify to that- but back then you would literally think it’s some sort of oceanic monster and the end of the world

This is my hometown. The surfers weren’t invited. McNamara noted a pattern that when there was a certain weather in NYC 1 week later it would translate in big waves in Nazaré and he went to surf there. Then he broke records about the waves he surfed and this attracted more surfers to the area. We had local people surfing all the time, he wasn’t the first. But it is undeniable that there was more publicity about this afterwards. Hope you enjoyed our little corner of paradise
