💨 Abstract

In the Amazon rainforest, powerful rivers and lunar gravity create massive waves known as "pororocas." Surfer Sergio Laus, who has ridden the world's longest waves, fears these phenomena may disappear due to climate change and environmental degradation. He recently surfed the Mearim River's pororocas, noting they were much smaller than in the past. Laus attributes this reduction to climate-driven sea-level rise, droughts, and human-induced erosion.
