Nazaré is situated on Portugal's exposed Atlantic coastline facing northwest toward open ocean. The spot experiences direct Atlantic swell exposure with significant wave energy, though average wave height data appears conservative compared to visual conditions. The coastline features a steep beach with rocky formations and visible reef structures that create complex water dynamics. This is primarily an open ocean beach break exposed to powerful swells and strong currents. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore conditions for controlled kiteboarding. The spot suits experienced kiters comfortable with powerful conditions, rough water, unpredictable currents, and technical navigation around obstacles. The low wind reliability (8.8%) indicates inconsistent wind patterns requiring careful planning. Water conditions appear rough and turbulent even in the image. Kiters should assess swell direction, current strength, and safe entry/exit points before launching. This location demands advanced skills, local knowledge, and respect for ocean conditions.
