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. 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.

I would love to get some drone footage of surfing when this lockdown is over.
I did all that before you asked. I know how hard it is to build a youtube channel. I'm trying to build one myself.
Done
I heard there's a pretty heavy left in Tahiti...
Ireland: Nah, hold my pint of Guinness.
That was intense!!! He makes it out, unbelievably, only to get fully clobbered. Hats off to you, Conor 💪👊🔥
Yeah, just unbelievable! Just watching this was scary. Kind of reminds me of Mavericks.
That last wave was ridiculous, blinded by the spit, gets barreled, rides over a boil and detonated by the lip.
Pray tell. What language is that you speak? 🤗🇭🇲😆😆🤗🇭🇲😆
Personally I reckon that beats any wave at Nazare Ive seen over the last couple of days.
Sebastians wave was massive and he also got swallowed but came out the other side but then got swallowed again it was weirdly similar to this ride actually lol
Yep, i thought the same having watched the latest coverage from the recently on TH-cam, it's much more heavier than there and it properly allows you into the gut of it, whereas it's a chasing game with Nazare, albeit fuckin fast, but still, nowhere near as heavy as here
Damn right and sooo coooold
Mully is definitely heavier and steeper wave..
@@robertruge2916 So true, I was just noticing this last swell looked to be some of the the most ideal condition wise, atleast from 2,500 miles away.
You know it's big when the Coastguard rescue helicopter is waiting overhead!
Lol!
This is probably the heaviest wave i’ve ever seen
Try Teahupoo.
Shipsterns bluff...or shippies 😂
@@waltysalamander I imagine someone commenting on this post is aware of Teahupoʻo, one of the most famous big waves in the world. We've all fucking seen Teahupoʻo. Jesus Christ.
@@mikethompson718 Ok, but Teahupo’o is the heaviest wave in the world so if everyone here knew that, why would someone say otherwise?
@@waltysalamander teahupoo not heaviest, only goes up to like 40ft, plus, Ireland is fuckin cold and horrible so its ten times worse lol
For one min there, that looked like code red with european water colour, Tahiti comes to Ireland WOW!!
That has to be one of the heaviest waves ever surfed. Insane!
Some of the gnarliest waves ever ridden!!
Best surf vídeos are with out music.
Just the sound of the wave breaking.
**October 2020 - West coast of Ireland**
An ordinary guy catches an extraordinary wave and the world sits up and notices!!
(Kudos to this lad, from the White Water kayaker community)
Never tire of watching this epic ride. A wave of serious consequence that puts the rest to shame.
These are the BEST rides I've seen this year. That is incredible!
Ireland has waves like that? Who knew...learn something new every day.
Great video.
The Atlantic coast gets battered in Autumn,we even get the tail end of hurricanes that started in the gulf,Sandy the hurricane that smashed up New Jersey a few years ago ,ended up here
Insane, all of the European big wave spots went up! Mully is my favorite, looks so much like Fiji or Namotu. Last ride was by far the best, he didn’t deserve the lip to head!
It's not all the same ride?
Of all the big wave rides this is one I can watch again and again
Scarier, more impressive and beautiful than Nazare because it is actually barreling.
Yeah Nazare is boring and overrated
@@bobbyjoe1111 second that. Would rather watch girls on long boards riding 3 ft waves than naz. Courage to ride it. Boring wave. The wedge on steroids.
Crazy big, gnarly wave...dude has balls of steel
Absolutely mental. Like a colder and grayer version of that huge day at Cloudbreak a few years back
THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER WAS A LIITLE BIT HIGHER.....
@@philippemetois6491 water ain't to bad in Ireland in October...maybe 13 or 14 oc....much colder in January and February...maybe 8 or 9
1.00 - 1.20....far out! That's a frigid, gnarly, monster wall of liquid concrete. WoTY.
A few freezes from the video between 1.05 and 1.18 are properly hair raising. That's a doubled up, vertical and rounded ocean implosion. Absolutely sick.
Nothing I've seen of recent footage from Nazare shows anything as heavy, difficult and downright violent as this....Impressively big waves no doubt, but not on the same level of heaviness as this.
I’ve watched a lot of surf videos in my life but that was the heaviest thing i’ve ever seen!!!
The biggest wave I ever surfed was a 15 footer, this makes me think that was nothing 😂😂😂
One of the heaviest waves ever ridden. That last clip is one of my all time faves. So grey and dark and scary looking
It is hard to believe what I am seeing here, go Irish Surfers!
they're English,paddys can't surf!
@@jquest43 you’re an idiot they’re in Sligo witch is part of Ireland.....Ireland which’s takes all waves heading for the uk. Thanks 👍
@@tombuckley610 hahafool?! there in Cornwall which only a proper Englishman can surf..a paddy just simks and leaves a beer slick.
@@jquest43 it literally says mullaghmore in the title? Are you brain dead
He's Irish ya dumb cunt@@jquest43
This scares the beejaysus out of me
About the same odds of making it as Puerto Escondido.
But way cold, way further from shore and way more dangerous looking.
Respect to the lads riding the beast.
Epic wave and an epic ride. Rode that beast as well and courageously as could be done. Well done Conor!
It looks like that one scene from surfs up
Hell ya it does
A lot of respect dude!
I posted that video everywhere I could. It's dynamic lol 😆
Brilliant ride on such a powerful wave.
La vague la plus incroyable que je n'ai jamais vu !
Nazaré est moins impressionant que cette vague tellement creuse et parfaite pour sa taille immense !
Like a dragon dredging up old angry souls lost in the depths of time and hurling there fury back down again. Leaving only a mist of breath for the wind to carry on and gulls to mock, sick wave man! 🤙
So Insane... This is the heavier wave I've ever seen by far. Epic!
Damn, I wonder how deep that closeout pushed him down. Insane power.
This is the largest wave ever surfed !
Heavier, bigger and hollower than Peahi !
I've been surfing for 45 years now and I've never seen anything even remotely as gnarly.
For some reason this just looks bigger than Nazare
This wave is so eerie, I don't know how to describe it. Just something about it terrifies me.
Hello from Ireland....Its a dark beast of a wave alright and its a killer
Couldn’t imagine thinking you made it, to only get your head taken off. Legend.
That was an amazing ride. The lip probably smarted quite a bit at the end.
Amazing. Nice charging! Wish I had run into this a while ago.
Speechless
The speed he was dropping down that wall of water was awesome, I can only imagine what that feels like.
Wow.
I can't imagine the power and how deep you go after this wave catches you .
This is like Mavs Escon.Cloudbreak Teahpoo all rolled into one cold giant of a wave!
When the waves are colossal and your balls are like two Jupiters
Amazing stuff!
That was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life
Incroyable... fantastique.
Incredible...
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.
Axed at the last minute !
Yikes! That is extremely gnarly!
Most white water on big waves sort of crumbles off the face, this wave literally breaks like a "small wave" with hollow barrels and heavy lips!!
THE GREATEST TUBE RIDE IN THE HISTORY OF SURFING. PERIOD.
Agreed! Bar none
That he could go from his amazing career in the MMA 2 pro surfing is amazing!!!
A 60ft angry double up barrel that he made in the freezing cold! Hawaii needs to be honest with itself and stepup it's game.
Next friggin level. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
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!
Nothing like the cold hard slabs of Ireland to wake you up in the morning
Amazing escape Connor!
Mullaghmore is going to be a world hotspot really soon I think. Everything about the conditions just make it harder.
We agree. 👍
That wave is outrageous
Respect from Hawaii
🤜😐
All time epic, best ever.
Looks like he nearly took it on the head at the end. Bam!!!
That’s Nuts ...!
What a ride. He somehow makes it at 1:28 and then that closeout.
Thats a big slab of sea tipping over there Bro!
Magical
Ride of the Year. PERIOD!
Wow that's epic
This is brutal!
a wave that big breaking top to bottom has to be terrifying.
Looked a very mean looking wave 🌊. Meanest I've ever seen . 💪🏻🤙🏻🥇
i can imagine how cold this water is
Watched it heaps of times now....might be the heaviest ride I've seen anywhere. Can't think of anything that obviously tops it.
Balls out, far out....total madness.
As for the Naz recent swells being the biggest and gnarliest waves around.... seriously? This is a different league....sickness dialed up to 12. Once in lifetime kinda wave. Even after heaps of views I'm still speechless.
Whether it's a make..... the way the lip kinda splits up just right at the end and clobbers him after he comes through the whitewater prob would've blown anyone up. Not sure there was really a line to realistically catch the ride and still get outta the way of that splintering lip right at the end. Caught the ride of a lifetime, so it's a stone cold make for me. The bashing he took from that splintering lip just makes it even more epic.
And on barrelling double up slab like that it would've been bananas to try and get higher into that. Hydrodynamics are really violent and properly terrifying.... even on a screen. It was a proper black-hole-gravity kinda impact zone.
Normally not a fan of some of the music tracks put on these vids, but this track kinda hits the spot..... Heavy, dark and more than a bit queasy.
Great commentary.
Are you fucking kidding me!... These guys are literally crazy!
Feckin brilliant ,,🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
What is the sea temperature ? Looks like he is wrapped in a favourite blankie ! That is an epic wave ridden by an epic surfer !!
That Ireland barrel is dark and scary. I’m sure it’s colder than Mavericks too.
The problem with these giant waves is that, even if you ride one of them successfully, you then often get hit from behind by the white water. It looks dangerous.
Really?
That was proper big
Someone please tell me why this won't win the ride of the year.
Cuuzzz....Koalaz, remember them? Covid? electiod? 2020 is the year of the ride, we have all been on it but no doubt this must be ride of the year
Election night gonna win by a nose
Awesome.
I dont get why the edit stops after people get worked. Its not even close to being the end of the wave or shot. Surfers want to see the full event, especially how long the hold downs are, and the next sets on the head. Its all part of surfing. Its all extremely interesting. Cameramen, get onto it. Editors, get it.
Nossa!!!
Essa última onda, que beleza meu Deus!!!
🙌 🙌 🙌 👊 👊 👊
Shore Break waves are fun as a muh and shiznit! 😀
Scary stuff 🌊🌊🌊🏄♀️
Conner's a stout, McGregor a mouth🌀🤙that's a diamond gunna be a minute before some bloke betters it, the lads a ledge well done all✌
That wave doesnt shrink while it's breaking. It's keeps its gerh and size
Wow!
Just friggin’ Wow!
1:14 RESPECT
This wave to me pound for pound and given the cold water and wind is the heaviest wave in the world.
My new fav monster...props to the human iceberg CHARGERS!
Damn. Bigger than Nazre!
I'm not a surfer but that was awesome. Biggest waves I ever saw. Look after yourselves from Tipperary
Look up nazare, they just got a swell that dwarfed these waves
@@ncdozer3103 Totally different waves comparing height is a joke
@@patlad8433 I was referring to the sheer size of the waves. Nazare makes the waves look small.
@@ncdozer3103 Theres no pit at Nazares, not even close to this wave...
insane, if Nazare was in Fiji it would apparrently be Irish, that is one dirty great gnarly maelstrom, feckin big respect Conor, my nuts shrank just watchin, wow!
The biggest nads I have ever seen! The scariest wave I have ever seen!! End of conversation!
