Countdown to Edouard

I hate you. fl

 

More than you can imagine! Late yesterday afternoon the spot we were at literally dropped by a couple feet in about an hour as the tide dropped from dead high to mid tide outgoing.

 

From this morning:

some ofthe forecast models have this thing going back down the african coast. what are the chances it does a loop d loop giving us another go at it? Ever happen before?

 

ok . we get it! stop rubbing it in. jj

 

perfect storm in 90 or 91 did a loop de loop, it was a tropical system that merged with a front, if my 13 year old self remembers correctly

 

wow you are correct,some models are picking up a loop, even NHC has it moving east then due south.. http://my.sfwmd.gov/sfwmd/common/images/weather/plots/storm_06.gif

meanwhile, could be a low system develop off the east coast...

 

that was a loop off our coast. i meant a full loop back to africa, recharge round 2 type of thing.

 

Sorry man, rubbing in my own face too HAHA

 

got more today.
went to a SECRET SPOT
which was crowded (go figya)
was patient; took my time, got 5 or 6 nice rides.
its another in the win column.

 

Totally looks like it's going to attempt de loop de loop!!

 

Yah. Wouldn't that be crazy. It will be on same latitude as south carolina on Monday as a depression. Wonder if it could regenerate. Let's watch. Remember in 2004 when Jeanne did a 180 and made a beeline for Florida.

 

Alberto in 2000 was one that did a huge slow loop and almost followed the same path that Eduoard is following. We got smallish long period swell from Alberto for a solid week, pulsing as it got close once, and then again a week later. Fun times.....swell forecasting was pretty different back then....even in 2000. Far enough away from the coast it wasn't hyped, but there was clean waist - chest high waves a bunch of days in a row.

 

I think I found some of the best waves of the swell. there were some better ones but these lefts were amazing and long and ripable. this was taken an hour before dark when the east winds that came in later in the day died off it was also probably the peak of the swell.



this one was cool from this morning. if you look close on the inside and outside you can see guys surfing for size reference.

 

Nice photos sandblaster

 

well, this one was a big old skunk-a-roo for me. i had no time to travel and find a part of NJ that was working, much to my dismay. it would have only been a 1/2 hour ride for me, but i couldn't squeeze it in.
let's hear it for this weekend's supposed windswell! I love windswell. so much more reliable, kinda.

 

Yeah that's what I'm hype about some medium period windswell. The windswell we got a month or so ago was better then all cane swells IMO and mondays looking nice!

 

omg lol, it does look like eduardo is considering making a Uturn and perhaps taking a second chance at sending us better waves than the first round!

not.
