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.

The Easkey Right profile favors low tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.
The Easkey Right profile uses wind from SE (135°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 90° to 180°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.
The Easkey Right scoring profile favors swell from NW (270° to 350°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 4.6m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
The main season at Easkey Right is Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar. A secondary window runs Apr, Aug. Autumn-winter Atlantic swells. Best in big swells.
