okay guys tropical storm fay is now in effect. hopefully it'll come by the east coast and give us some waves.
dont get your hopes up, i give it 25 or less percent of curving north befor it goes to the gulf. The low preasure moving off of florida looks weak and i highly doubt it will steer it northerly. sucks, but thats how it goes. invest 93 disorganized and weak, not very optomistic about that doind anything either. guess you can pray, see what happens. later on, pray
in my experience, praying isn't so much a factor. The Gulf coasters need to watch this thing carefully... all model projections are taking it near the Florida Panhandle at this point.
yeah, if that thing blew up, i'd consider makin a trip down there, panhandle is solid on good swell: http://www.surfline.com/video/video_player/video_player.cfm?id=2350&mv=ncl Crowd factor though
it will make land fall, the curve off the ga. coast and have swell sim to a nor east'r. thats just my opinion.
yeah but looking at the tracking if it meets with a pressure system then we have a chance that it can hopefully create some waves.
More than likely be chop suey ocean with some size, peaks with no face to it.. However there will be a clean up and leave about an hour for good surf before it is batted down, except for some of the better breaks that can hold a large wind swell a little longer. Otherwise, back to the saga of a very dissapointing summer xcept Bertha. Bring on the winter swells, this blows.
the beginning to middle of august in general pretty lame. Generally the east coast gets much more activity on or around the beginning of september.
the thing i dont get is that it's practically the end of august and the weather people were predicting an over active hurricane season. so what i want to know is were are these hurricanes they were predicting.
Yeah, theres no doubt that we are about a month away from the peak, but the atlantic has some work to do to favor the stormation of a healthy storm and hold this healthy for a long period of time . This will take a bit of time.. which opens the window for those cold fronts to begin barrelling down alaska and the northwest and make their way eastward for the fall. More than likely create a more sheared environment for the atlantic and create the tough conditions for the tropics. I am sure we will have an explosion period of a week or two where it will be very active with like 2 or 3 storms at one period and then things will really quiet down. Ya never know, just seems much like the same pattern as last year. Def. booking flights to Central America next summer.
If that long range model holds, that would really hit the spot right now. Checked 3 different models and they are all favoring a very nice ESE long period ground swell from i guess a storm that will be in our window by next sunday.
yeah from what i've seen on long range models there should be some swell coming but it could always change with the forcasters. but hopefully it wont change and come true.
