    I read somewhere that on October 18th 2031 we will get a sweet cane swell that will send overhead surf to everyone from FL to Maine. Mark your calendars, clear your schedule and wax up your board, only 18 years to go.

    Gracias, 'Bat-mon. Won't be in PG, will be in the other PG. And you're right about those light easterlies, sweet as. When I was there in October last year, I hit massive winds as you experienced. Actually blew 3 newbs from Alaska on their surfboards out to sea. Boat rescue, the works. Not wise to mess with 50 mph offshore gusts!

    The oscillation is favorable for development for the first two weeks of September, but there is continuous dry air being blown off the sahara inhibiting development. After we make it into mid September we get hit with a very unfavorable oscillation.

    I think it's very probable to say if we see nothing develop over the next week or two we can hang up our chances of getting a cape verde storm this year. That doesn't mean we won't see those storms that form between the carribean and bermuda spin up and give us some swell though.

    I've been monitoring the tropics closely, and still nothing super promising show on the forecast charts. There are 2 waves off of Africa to monitor, but none of them show great promise right now. At the very end of August, beginning of September, you are almost guaranteed to see something, so its starting to get a little disturbing :(

    I'd say the current outlook is giving a new meaning to "tropical depression".

    Hey, on the up side there is always 37 degree water and 40mph off shores with closeouts to look forward to! Now those are so awesome-epic conditions!

    It's EC, we hustle and get what we can.

    Oh guys, I talked to Jesus last night. No, not WalkingonH20, the real deal. And HE said, " Sorry dudes, no hurricane swells this year." He alluded to a possible minimal shot late in September, but that depends on youse guys' behavior. HE said that some of you guys were being bad boys this summer and that is why you are being punished.

    Na braddah. I'm not starchy. But who knows what's going on behind the curtain in this world. Someone here mentioned that post-Katrina there was a similar dust cloud happening to present itself off the shore of West Africa as it is post-Sandy. You know Ho Chi Minh had an iPhone 7 and J. Edgar watched Armstrong charge the moon via 1080p in his basement mancave. They are decades ahead of us in Langley, Lubyanka, and Room 39. Hell, the champagne room in Studio 54 may have even been Jetsonian during the Carter era. sandblasters would know better than I. Maybe even Zach; dude's so damn smart about surfing he's gotta be harboring intel in other facets of counterculture.

    Na brah, I'm a proud American that likes Budweiser (sorry BE!!), drives Ford Tough, and is thankful for all the red, white & blue gives us. As long as we eventually get a few gnarly cane swells we can charge them and just chalk it up as a mediocre season. Then we can woo Doomsday part deux and nor'Easters with Cat-3 gusts. More importantly, are you braddahs prepping to yield a bountiful harvest of a harem down the stretch of the pennant race so you can have some swallow tail to get snowed in with the nights before charging the next Nemo after party? April & October...Abril y Octubre. Mating months...mating months. By Halloween, them dimes be latching on to the most fit of blokes like they was those leeches on Will Wheaton's testes in Stand By Me. Gather your acorns...

    Love,
    EMass8'
