Swells

The ocean swells like an undulating mirror of the bowl of heaven.

These, horsed astride / a surge's crest, rock pendent o'er the deep; / to those the wave's huge hollow, yawning wide, / lays bare the ground below; dark swells the sandy tide.

Scientists say big waves form there usually in the winter months, between October and March, when the harsher weather generates larger swells.

When those swells come from the west to northwest, they interact with a deep, underwater canyon off the coast of Nazare that, scientists say, can magnify wave height by three to five times.
