Mid-squall hack during howling winds and driving rain makes capturing surfing on the East Coast of Ireland a tricky endeavour due to the short lived swells and challenging conditions. Photo: UnaMaryMcCarthyDeering

As with any fickle surf zone, it is all about continuing the search and checking to see what is around the next corner, headland or bay...there will be surf sessions for years to come. Photo: UnaMaryMcCarthyDeering

Ireland’s east coast is rarely talked about. It certainly can’t be compared to the western side of Ireland, but with a good knowledge of local winds and tides, waves can definitely be found along the coastline around Dublin. Eoin McCarthy Deering and I have been surfing and filming these waves for a while and think this may be first surfing edit from Ireland’s “other side.”
