Well, one thing is certainly true. It's not about the bike! Never was.

Increasing westerly shear in the tropics as polar westerlies descend in latitude during autumn = end of game for Cape Verde season. Looking at recent satellite loops, you can see a large amount of...

Right, but you're hyping the overhyping threads, so there's not much difference in underlying behavior.

Pick whichever location has the more favorable local wind conditions for the time you'll be there and check the cams just before you leave. If you're doing a day trip, then you can wait til the last...

Here's even more info to help straighten out the confusion between the state side and national side:

You might try Assateague Island, just south of OCMD. If you don't mind walking a bit from the parking lot area, you can most likely find your own slice of the pie. The downside is that there's a...

I think you'll be in luck. It helps, too, that this storm is so big.

I used to see them jump the bow wake of the submarine I was on when we were transiting on the surface. I'd be up there on the conning tower and when the ocean was glassy and the sun was low in the...

The 12z run of the GFS just came out and continues with the idea that Leslie stalls for a few days near Bermuda. When Leslie starts moving again, it's progged to move slowly toward the east coast...

Given the title of this thread, I'm just glad we don't have to move to Tampa(x).

Yeah, lots going on here. Remnants of Isaac will be interacting with a frontal boundary over eastern CONUS, then there's an approaching tropical near Bermuda. The GFS will bounce around until we...

Also, this thing is already huge and will only continue to grow in size. The wave-generatd fetch will have widespread effects, evnentually impacting just about all of the east coast.

Me. Used to hate September cuz it meant the return of school, but that was 30 years ago. Now it's my favorite month of the year.

Possible fly in the ointment w/ clean surf from Leslie is the...

LOL, we have as much chance of getting that as I do of getting my wife to cook tasty meals while simultaneously shutting her yap. :)

That's why I put the name Leslie in quotes in the thread heading.

TS Leslie is coming to an Atlantic basin near you. Looks promising for mid/late next week. GFS has Leslie parking itself about 600 miles east of Vacapes for a day or two while a front plows through...

El Nino
10char

That's a pretty broad question which I don't think has a single answer. I can say that El Nino years correlate with fewer/weaker tropical storms/hurricanes, especially those that originate during...

From the 5pm AST NHC discussion on Joyce:

SATELLITE DATA INDICATE THAT THE CENTER OF JOYCE HAS UNEXPECTEDLY

Sounds like Madonna, minus the "unexpectedly" modifier...

So how is that surf on the Severn River? :P

I hear ya about the land-locked thing and totally agree. Kinda took living near the ocean for granted for the 5 years I was there, but now that I've...

Screw Isaac. TD 10 is the one to watch.

I concur. I drove 7 hours roundtrip to/from Assateague with my 2 boys just to bodyboard for 4 hours. Was it perfect? No. Was it worth the trip? Absolutely. Got very lucky on the traffic front,...

I moved inland for a girl. Wound up marrying her. That was 17 years and 2 kids ago. Jury is still out on whether I made the right decision. :)

Sounds like it's "Made in China" accurate.
