    to have a tropical system swell hit every weekend between now and thanksgiving would definitely be proof of a benevolent and loving deity.

    I'm a little skeptical of this storm right now...

    From Weather Underground:

    I can't see anything that will prevent 94L from developing into a tropical depression over the next 1 - 2 days. The HWRF model develops 94L into a hurricane 4 days from now, as does the SHIPS intensity model, but other models, such as the GFDL, ECMWF, and GFS, do not develop 94L at all.

    At the longer ranges, the fate of 94L is highly uncertain. The Canadian model turns 94L to the north near Bermuda, then out to sea, while the NOGAPS model foresees a threat to the U.S. East Coast early next week. Both of these solutions are believable. The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to make their first flight into 94L on Tuesday afternoon at 2pm EDT.

    ------

    So looks like there is a chance, albeit minimal, that this storm will develop into something significant. However, it is looking more likely that it will take a north-west track and maybe send some pulse our way..(?)..

    Pray for more surf!

    I hear ya, but after this holiday weekend it'll thin out. Then once 4/3 weather hits, it'll get even thinner. :)

    Looks to have more potential than 94L (although she it is showing nice shape right now). Ten to twelve days from now is my uneducated back of the envelope guess.

    Improvement

    94L is looking more favorable for development now, with 3 of 6 major models predicting a northwesterly track. But what really makes me excited is the parade of African waves going West!

    Hoping that at least one of these systems develops over the next few weeks...

    She's got a name... crowds or no crowds, it's freakin great to get some sizable waves to ride.

    Come on up the coast and sit 500 miles offshore for a week or two!
