Easkey Right is one of Ireland's most consistent and forgiving reef breaks—a long, peeling right-hander in County Sligo that handles everything from playful 3-footers to solid double-overhead swells. The wave breaks along a sharp, uneven reef shelf, offering multiple sections and the occasional barrel on the takeoff. It's a pilgrimage site for European surfers seeking quality point-style waves without the tropical crowds. Pack your 5/4mm wetsuit and embrace the Celtic chill.
