Conor Maguire Rides 60-Foot Monster Wave at Mullaghmore Head

Watch Conor Maguire surfing a 60-foot monster wave at Mullaghmore Head, in County Sligo, Ireland.

Maguire has taken the surf world by storm in recent years.

And when Hurricane Epsilon produced 60-foot waves off the coast of County Sligo, in his native Ireland, he was quick to embrace the opportunity of a lifetime.

Conor Maguire started surfing when he was 11 and went on to become the youngest European to be shortlisted for the World Surf League’s Big Wave Awards.

In 2017/2018, the 26-year-old Irish swell hunter received an invitation to compete at the Punta de Galea Challenge.

The participation catapulted him to bigger, global recognition.

This time around, Maguire was quick to pounce on a weather forecast, which looked almost too good to be true when he traveled to Mullaghmore Head.

The powerful Atlantic Ocean conditions were caused when tropical Hurricane Epsilon merged with a depression and produced massive, freak swells out at sea.

Mullaghmore Head is well-known by European big wave riders. It is a brutal surf break with cold water and often rainy and cloudy winter skies.

This storm surge created waves up to 18 meters high, and Maguire was accompanied closely by a safety team for his trip out.

“There are only a handful of days like this one in your whole life pretty much, so to experience that today was pretty special,” stated Conor Maguire after taking on the historic XXL waves at Mullaghmore Head.

Huge day for season opener but only a small small version of what is coming Wednesday/Thursday.
I have never ever seen a swell forecast this big and clean.

Big wave surfing is the ultimate celebration of extreme surfing. Challenging deadly waves in harsh weather and ocean conditions takes a very serious approach.

Malik Joyeux, Sion Milosky, Moto Watanabe, Mark Foo, Donnie Solomon, Todd Chesser, Dickie Cross, and Peter Davi have passed away in extreme surfing conditions. Wipeouts, severe coral reef injuries, and drowning are the most common causes of big wave surfing.

Garrett McNamara is one of the toughest big wave challengers. After riding a spectacular 78-foot wave in Nazaré, Portugal, the Hawaiian waterman entered the Guinness World Records with the biggest wave ever surfed.
