fyi, models shows a possible storm forming near the Cape Verde Islands and making it all the way across the Atlantic on the long range models. Something to watch!

1. A vigorous tropical wave accompanied by a broad low pressure system
is producing a large area of cloudiness and showers more than 300
miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental
conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development, and
a tropical depression is likely to form by early next week over the
eastern or central tropical Atlantic Ocean. This system is forecast
to move toward the west or west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph for the
next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

here is what GFS/AVN shows in 7 days Friday Aug 11.




Now we sit back and wait...claim hype, talk new board curse, going out of town, winds will be onshore, long close out lines, blah blah blah....LOL.

Ten Days shows recurve and right in our pocket!




Geez, if only these long range models were correct all the time! However, something to watch and debate. I like it. Football and Hurricane season nears!

Just got a new board how many days out before curse eases?

I think this one will make me finally go get the annual hurricane supplies stocked up for this year.  Tropics are starting to kick!

Think I'll up the lap count in the pool...Even it doesn't form like showing in the long range, at least it is moving towards us for a few days.

Just showed the wife and she asked when? I said a week from Monday. Her answer, NOPE...and, back with the headphones on. Flavor Flav says, "Don't Believe The Hype"

-------------------------

 

LMAO sounds about the same response I get from my wife... she does trust me when I say time to go time to get outta here though! I stayed through one once years when I was in college, direct landfall borderline cat 1/2, and not anything I'd ever wanna go through again!!! A lot of people give me crap about bailing since I have properties and I always say rather be safe than sorry + lots of nice hotels in Tampa or Atlanta for quick vacation which never know might get paid for by insurance LOL And most of the people who give me crap haven't been through a real one!! Really since Andrew we really haven't had one ( well 2004 if lived in Punta Gorda or maybe Hutchinson island ) which worries me with the population size nowadays as. I know lots who stayed through Matthew who got lucky and are  probably complacent to the fact that they never had anything more than TS level winds...

 

Let's hope we don't have one this season but if we do let's hope people are smart & stay safe!!!

Magic seaweed has next Sunday 33' @ 17 seconds and 80mph gusts; sure hope this changes soon.....

Ugh, Friday morning model runs in the long range....ugh....

Ok, is it too early to start the RECURVE Prayer? Or, too late.

Dang! GFS has a Cat 5 direct hit on the 14th.

I mentioned this in the 8/1 thread, why I dont blow off work for waist high waves....

As much as I'd love an excuse to wax up the big boards,  I havent even finished putting my house back together from Matthew  (seriously not even living in my house yet).... not really a fan of the idea of a STRONG cat 4 just off the coast 

 

 

 

Put on your Rally Hat!....Go HYPE, Go!

The Charleston area still has homes needing repairs (usually starting with roofing).  Churches have been helping organize assistance.  I'm sure there's still flood damage in North Carolina in places like Lumberton.
