I just saw this on Surfline and thought it would be a cool way to show you all the kind of weather pattern we are stuck in over here in Europe. Those of you on the East Coast of the US know all too well how crazy the weather has been this winter. But have you seen what has been happening to all those storms passing your way after they really start to crank up while crossing the Atlantic on their way to Europe?
This is an actual shot of the waves in Nazare, Portugal during this most recent storm that's still ongoing here in Italy. The swell chart above looks like a hurricane...in fact this storm basically is a hurricane. Waves this size have been a regular occurrence on the Atlantic coast of Europe this winter. Those waves I surfed at Punta Sabbioni in the Adriatic Sea the other day were not quite this big (thankfully)!It's really interesting to see a storm of this magnitude sending swell all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, then creating swell in the Mediterranean Sea, and finally sending swell into our area way up in the far northern corner of the Adriatic Sea. Unfortunately, the weather over here has been like one big never-ending Nor'easter since last year...with no end in sight!
