"GFS, its ensembles and like-minded model runs appear to be mishandling the trof southeast of Florida... running it further west, and weaker, whereas the Euro and like minded runs intensify Cuba/Bahamas trof, and allow it to turn more northerly ... possibly even riding up off the Florida east coast. Without the more northwesterly tug induced by the aforementioned trof as runs like the GFS sees it, 16 (Nate) is more likely to respond to its own more NNW oriented associated trof. Pay attention to what the feature over central/eastern Cuba does in the next 48 hours for additional clues. "--flhurricane This tropical wave is pumping huge amount of gusty monsoon rains. Some roads underwater, driveway is barely passable, houses and yards flooding, and no end in sight. North Melbourne got 10" in 3 hours Sunday. I wonder if DPSUP got hit. The waves are looking big and blown out forever,
It's a frog strangler. Blowing like stink and heavy rain squalls, the system is too close for swell, so just mosh. I saw one dude at the Cove on the cam, all alone, he must've been really bored or missed the last run of a month of good waves.
My first year surfing, I paddled out and into any condition, foolishly. Hadn't ever heard the term, blown out. I sure learned a lot about the ocean that year. I recall one day where I spent 2 hours paddling out and getting nowhere. But the water was warm, and I just enjoyed being there. I look back now and marvel that I didn't drown. So, maybe that guy you saw out there was a beginner like myself?
Probably not, it can be a gnarly spot, but I'm totally sure he is a perpetual grom, much like yourself #tropicalincests
