Watch Conor Maguire surfing a 60-foot monster wave at Mullaghmore Head in County Sligo, Ireland. It is probably the biggest wave ever surfed in Irish waters.
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 in the Punta de Galea Challenge.
His 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.

For those that use to read tracks magazine when it was a newspaper it reminds me of captain goodvibes cartoons. like the massive waves U would draw in class with that white water showing your tracks down and up the waves. Pure beauty but death defying in reality.
Whatever happened to that beautiful girl who did the 90ft nazare wave a few years ago? Does she still surf or did she hang it up? Man she was beautiful
yea buddy
That wave was 15 feet thick at the take off peak. Can't really measure that power. Does anyone comprehend that!. I don't think they do.
Must of had Lucky Charms for breakfast
So Insane… This is the heavier wave I've ever seen by far. Epic!
Hooooowly shaaait
Looked a very mean looking wave 🌊. Meanest I've ever seen . 💪🏻🤙🏻🥇
This is the largest wave ever surfed !
Heavier, bigger and hollower than Peahi !
Thats the real deal alright
You know he got pushed deep 'cause he was holding his ears. May have even busted an ear drum. Intense.
That wave doesnt shrink while it's breaking. It's keeps its gerh and size
Nothing like the cold hard slabs of Ireland to wake you up in the morning
Conor Maguire maybe what 130 lbs soaking wet at, at least 50 lb of that must be the size of his giant balls
Wow!
Just friggin’ Wow!

Thumbs down on the soundtrack.
This wave to me pound for pound and given the cold water and wind is the heaviest wave in the world.
Big wave ride of the year……so far
God Bless you! That last wave is the most intense wipeout I have ever seen. I can't even imagine how that felt, but I'm pretty sure that was life-threatening and took you well deep in the waters. Again God bless and good luck!
