El asombroso fenómeno ocurrió hoy en el condado de Sligo, cuando, debido a los fuertes vientos provocados por el inminente huracán Epsilon, las olas alcanzaron alturas raras veces vistas entre 10 y 18 metros.
El pueblo de Mullaghmore se ha convertido hoy en día en un paraíso para los surfistas. Las olas gigantes frente a la costa han atraído a muchos amantes de este deporte acuático. Aunque requirió mucho coraje y experiencia, en la grabación podemos ver que hubo muchos temerarios.
