Title: Nazaré Canyon
Content:  record for the world's biggest wave ever to have been surfed, with his incredible run at Nazare beach in Portugal being recognized as a Guinness World Record. In May 2018, the World Surf League confirmed this achievement at its Big Wave Awards in Santa Monica, California, with the official height of the wave registered at 24.38 m. On February 11, 2020, at Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal, Maya Gabeira broke the record for the biggest wave ever surfed by a woman on a record-setting wave measuring 73.5 feet (22.4 meters), besting her own previous world record of 68 feet. The 73.5-foot wave she surfed on February 11 in Nazaré was the largest wave surfed by anyone that year, earning Gabeira the WSL’s 2020 women’s XXL Biggest Wave Award. By contrast, that year’s men’s XXL Biggest Wave Award winner, Kai Lenny, rode a 70-foot wave.
Title: Tsunami
Content:  In the 1950s, it was discovered that tsunamis larger than had previously been believed possible can be caused by giant submarine landslides. These large volumes of rapidly displaced water transfer energy at a faster rate than the water can absorb. Their existence was confirmed in 1958, when a giant landslide in Lituya Bay, Alaska, caused the highest wave ever recorded, which had a height of 524 m. The wave did not travel far as it struck land almost immediately. The wave struck three boats—each with two people aboard—anchored in the bay. One boat rode out the wave, but the wave sank the other two, killing both people aboard one of them. 
Title: Wind wave
Content:  waves are distinct from tides, caused by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull, tsunamis that are caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides, and waves generated by underwater explosions or the fall of meteorites—all having far longer wavelengths than wind waves. The largest ever recorded wind waves are not rogue waves, but standard waves in extreme sea states. For example, 29.1 m high waves were recorded on the RRS Discovery in a sea with 18.5 m significant wave height, so the highest wave was only 1.6 times the significant wave height. The biggest recorded by a buoy (as of 2011) was 32.3 m high during the 2007 typhoon Krosa near Taiwan.
Title: Wave pool
Content:  The world's largest wave pool by area is 13600 m2 and located in Bangkok's Siam Park City. The largest indoor wave pool, "Blue Thunder", is 42000 sqft and located at World Waterpark in West Edmonton Mall, Edmonton, Alberta. The world's largest artificial waves, measuring up to 3 m in height, can be found at Siam Park in the Canary Islands.
Title: Rogue wave
Content:  Their existence has also since been confirmed by video and photographs, satellite imagery, radar of the ocean surface, stereo wave imaging systems, pressure transducers on the sea-floor, and oceanographic research vessels. In February 2000, a British oceanographic research vessel, the RRS Discovery, sailing in the Rockall Trough west of Scotland, encountered the largest waves ever recorded by any scientific instruments in the open ocean, with a SWH of 18.5 m and individual waves up to 29.1 m. "In 2004 scientists using three weeks of radar images from European Space Agency satellites found ten rogue waves, each 25 m or higher." 
Title: Nazaré Canyon
Content:  One of the most distinct features of this canyon is the high breaking waves it forms. This makes Nazaré, specifically Praia do Norte, a hotspot for big wave surfing. In November 2011, Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a record breaking giant wave: 24 m from trough to crest, at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal. In January 2013, it was reported he successfully rode a wave measuring an estimated 30 m at the same location, possibly exceeding the size of his previous record-breaking wave. In January 2018, Hugo Vau might have smashed a world record amid claims he surfed one of the biggest waves ever seen at Nazaré, Portugal. The wave — nicknamed ‘Big Mama’ — was reported to be up to 35 metres high, which, if confirmed, would beat current Guinness Book of Records holder Garrett McNamara. Brazilian surfer Rodrigo Koxa has officially broken the 
Title: Physical oceanography
Content:  large periods, high speeds, and great wave heights. The primary impact of these waves is along the coastal shoreline, as large amounts of ocean water are cyclically propelled inland and then drawn out to sea. This can result in significant modifications to the coastline regions where the waves strike with sufficient energy. The tsunami that occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska on July 9, 1958 was 520 m high and is the biggest tsunami ever measured, almost 90 m taller than the Sears Tower in Chicago and about 110 m taller than the former World Trade Center in New York.
Title: Rogue wave
Content:  that under severe gale force conditions with wind speeds averaging 21 m/s a ship-borne wave recorder measured individual waves up to 29.1 m from crest to trough, and a maximum significant wave height of 18.5 m. These were some of the largest waves recorded by scientific instruments up to that time. The authors noted that modern wave prediction models are known to significantly under-predict extreme sea states for waves with a significant height (Hs) above 12 m. The analysis of this event took a number of years, and noted that "none of the state-of-the-art weather forecasts and wave models — the 
Title: List of surfing records
Content:  2011 world record, McNamara has reportedly surfed to what was dubbed by the media as a "100 foot wave" in 28 January 2013 at Praia do Norte. McNamara has said in a 2013 interview he never claimed the wave to be 100 feet, but said the wave definitely felt bigger than the previous record. There are various ways to measure the height of a wave. Miguel Moreira, professor at University of Lisbon's Faculty of Human Kinetics (FMHUL) denotes that "in order to announce world records, all waves should be measured using the same method". WSL has its own method of measuring the height of a wave and has partnered with Guinness World Records to award world record certificates. Below are some claims of surfed waves that were/are not yet recognized by WSL:     
Title: Surfing in Ireland
Content:  Ireland's location on the edge of the North Atlantic makes it a good location for accessing large waves. The record for the largest measured wave, at 19 m (62 ft) tall, is held by a buoy off the north-west coast of the country, and satellite imagery has shown a tendency for the generation of waves in excess of 9 m (30 ft) tall in the area. Ireland's most iconic big wave, known as "Ailleens" after the nearby Aill na Searrach cliffs, is located off the Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, and is a popular location for tow-in surfing. Although championed by many as a "perfect wave", with a potential height of 12 m (39 ft), Ailleens is not an everyday occurrence, as it requires stormy conditions and strong east winds offshore. Mullaghmore Head's 9 m (30 ft) waves, in County Sligo, have served as the platform for the Billabong Monster Tow In Surf Session since 2011. A nearby wave, known as "Prowlers", has been surfed at an estimated height of 15 m (50 ft).

Question: where did the world's largest recorded wave occur?
Answer: Lituya Bay in Alaska.
