Surfer claims biggest swells on planet are off Irish coast

ONE of the world’s top big wave surfers believes he has found two spots off Ireland which could produce waves 120ft (36m) high.

Al Mennie, who has surfed some of the most extreme conditions on the planet, is waiting for the perfect conditions to surf what he believes is the largest swell on earth.

“This is my mission. The good days are few and far between — 90% of the swells are unrideable and we’d reckon that only two days each year are rideable.
