Easkey is home to Ireland's most famous waves. The left is a popular reefbreak, working on all tides and any swell. Handles plenty of size.
Localism is rearing its ugly head here, not from the Irish, but from Anglo-transplants. Camping, toilets and changing facilities by the tower. Surf centre in the village has internet access, café and info. Famously bad water quality has been improved by new sewage treatment plant. Currents when big.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
