Huge weekend swell targeting Ireland

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 November, 2012 : - - The biggest waves of the winter so far could hit the coastline of Western Ireland this weekend, offering the prospect of waves up to 30 feet high. Irish surfers will be joined by others from Hawaii, France and Spain, who are monitoring winds to see if conditions are favourable for the huge swell scheduled to hit Donegal Bay.

The huge swell could reach Ireland and climax on Tuesday. If the swell combines with southerly winds, it would create perfect conditions.

“We could have solid waves of up to 30 feet, which would be the biggest of the winter,” said top Irish surfer Richie Fitzgerald. “We have had 50ft waves in the past but 30ft waves would certainly be great and you would have a lot of surfers coming into Ireland to follow them,” he said.

The biggest wave to date hit Ireland last December was when a 67ft wave was logged 60 miles off Donegal.
