  1. According to what i have read the longest wave in the world happen Twice a year, between the months of February and March, the Atlantic Ocean waters roll up the Amazon river, in Brazil, generating the longest wave on the Earth. The phenomenon, known as the Pororoca, is caused by the tides of the Atlantic Ocean wich meet the mouth of the river. This tidal bore generates waves up to 12 feet high which can last for over half an hour.


  2. The longest surfed wave is not in the ocean but on a river. The Severn Bore produces a wave that can be surfed.

    Surfing the Severn Bore has become a competitive sport with dozens of surfers vying to record the longest ride. The tidal surge also attracts canoeists and windsurfers. The present champion surfer is Dave Lawson from Hempsted, Gloucestershire, who has covered 5.7 miles on a surfboard. His record-breaking surf took more than 35 minutes and was logged by an official adjudicator from the British Surfing Association

    The longest ocean wave would be a point break and probably be somewhere like Jefferys Bay (J-Bay) in South Africa

  3. Either the Superbank in Australia or Raglan in NZ.

  4. I think Mark is right on the ocean wave.  I have always heard that Jeffreys Bay, on a big day provides the longest continuous wave ride in the world.  There are a bunch of different breaks at J-Bay and when Boneyards links up to the Point, you can get a ride for over half a mile.
