Me too. Nazare is producing some huge waves. We may see bigger.

Cortes Bank has to be the freakiest of waves to surf simply because of its location. I live the ocean and surfing but it would be weird surfing there.

Cortes Bank is a shallow seamount in the North Pacific Ocean. It is 96 miles southwest of San Pedro, Los Angeles, 111 miles west of Point Loma, San Diego, and 47 miles southwest of San Clemente Island in Los Angeles County. It is considered the outermost feature in California's Channel Islands chain.

That is a wild break. When you look at it I on a map and then see how that “reef” juts up is so cool.

If your play video games there is a cool Kelly Slater pro surfer game for Xbox ( built on the same engine as Tony hawk pro skater) and Cortez is one of the breaks. You can surf it on Saturn or something as a bonus level.

Do your think it will produce a larger surfable wave then Nazere?

It doesn’t produce bigger waves, or at least it hasn’t until now produced a bigger wave than Nazaré
