This is the chatter about the upcoming week in the Tropics from flhurricane.com "There's wave coming off Africa that has a 20% chance for development over the next 5 days that the Hurricane Center is mentioning in hte outlook. Although it could develop, odds are it won't. and if it does, it wouldn't last across the Atlantic. We'll keep an eye on it though. GFS loses it by Friday (and never really develops it), Euro never really develops it, GFS Para never develops it, CMC does not develop it. The 12Z runs before this showed a bit more development, which is likely what the NHC outlook was based off of. Long range, next week seems slightly more likely for development of something else in the Eastern or Central Atlantic, but nothing very firm right now." And here is the 5 day graphical from NHC http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=5
Flhurricane.com: " The National Hurricane Center has dropped the wave chances off the Outlook, leaving the quiet week. The GFS shows something maybe in the Central Atlantic mid to late next week. but there are no other models supporting that yet. So likely next week may be quiet as well, but not sure on that yet. "
From Surfline extended fucast today: "Also, some of the recent computer model runs suggests a tropical wave moving off West Africa will need to be monitored as it tracks westward through the tropical Atlantic over the next week to ten days. We wouldn't see any potential for swell from that until well into the second week of July so we have plenty of time to watch the system over the coming days."
July 13, waaaaaaaay out there, but it gives us hope, and this is just the GFS that hasn't been to reliable.
NHC giving that system a 50% chance of becoming a TD in next five days. A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing widespread cloudiness and showers over the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. No significant development of this system is expected for the next few days while it moves westward at about 15 mph. Thereafter, upper-level winds are forecast to gradually become more conducive, and a tropical depression could form by early next week several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
Well you got my attention. I will be in Cabo all next week. In the above text it says “Cabo verde islands” lol! I am the sacrificial lamb leaving the EC...it should be good for you Boyz (and Lady)!!!
