Easkey Left
Easkey Left
Easkey Left is a wave off the rugged coast of County Sligo, Ireland. Known for its fast, hollow left-hand break riding over a rocky reef, it offers a dynamic and challenging ride that demands precision and technical skill. When the Atlantic swell hits just right, competitors are treated to a thrilling wave—making it a perfect stage for the European Championships.
IMPORTANT: Please note that there will be limited parking at the Easkey Castle Car Park for the duration of the event. We recommend dropping off boats and equipment and parking at the Easkey Community Centre or in the village. It is short walk along the river path from the village to the event site.
Please do not block access zones for emergency vehicles and adhere to marshals requests on competition days.
