Stormy weather means fuel for swelling seas off the surfing hot spot of Mullaghmore in Co Sligo.
And Irish big wave surfer Conor Maguire was there this week to catch the mammoth walls of water, as RTÉ News reports.
Three years ago, the Bundoran native made headlines for riding what’s believed to be the biggest wave ever recorded in Ireland’s waters at an estimated 60 feet.
This week he was first in line to make the most of the swell off the Sligo coast.
But for Red Bull team member Maguire, it was a mere warm-up for the bigger game at Nazaré in Portugal as the forecast shows the potential for record-breaking surf.
