Yep,  some areas up here are still trashed from Matthew.  Been a lot of rain here recently too.  

There's still plenty of people living in campers here in St. Augustine..... over 500 homes were severly damaged or destroyed, with mine being one of them. 

Friday morning showing Monday Aug 14th:




Think hurricane preparedness this weekend...just in case the long range models get this right. AND, PRAY RECURVE...and, out to sea...

that's the 00z.... the 06z has it further out but STRONGER (pushing cat 5)

Total crapshoot at this point (esp considering the EURO hasnt hopped on board yet) but worth monitoring.... especially for those of us who got flooded last year.

I'm stocking up on tubes of 4200

Yes, models are going to bounce around with each model run. It isn't even a named storm yet and a week away. So this goes into the 'hype' category at this point in time. However, this weekend for me will be eyeing the storm shutters looking around the yard and any projectiles get secured. AND, continue swimming 1/4 mile a day and step that up to maybe 1/2 mile. gotta be in shape to paddle out in hurricane surf! (knock on wood)...

Similar too Floyd in 99.  

Well the Atlantic high pressure has been pretty much in the same place for a long time. If it does develop we better hope something from the north pushes in to allow for the swing. I call this a hope 1 for no landfall.

bouy models now showing 4-5ft @ 16sec showing on the 11th and just building and building onward.

As the models turn. 12Z friday. I'm breathing easier now....but...of course this isn't even a named storm yet. So much can change and will (obviously).

and just like that, our epic swell turns to waist high windchop.  LOL

Gotta love the GooFuS model.
Expected though, when you start to see it closer to 5/7 days out, and similar on the Euro....then we can get a little excited.

Hype killed it before it was even a named storm. Or, it was that new board curse above...hmmm...

tune in next week for the next edition of "The Next Hope or Hype"

Wait, new run out....splitting the uprights and coming right for us! lol

I love watching these things. Honestly though, we'll know a lot more next week when it forms. for now, enjoy all the crazy different runs.. Can't wait for the wave models to catch up to this run!  lol

Awesome to have a pro Meteorologist on here going over storm details

...ditto!

Hey weatherman is surfing in Florida permanently fuct or is this just transitory. What role has geoengineering played in the demise of our sport? If any just curious.

Skunkape,
Please don't harass a knowlegable meteorlogist who generously posts on this site.
Not even sure what you said any way, but say it to one of the trolls, not Mr. Wieland.

we hyped, and NHC lowered the probability of it becoming a storm.

so heres the deal,

no hype. its flat. it sucks. quit surfing. then hopefully youll wake up next week and a cat 5 will be knocking at your door with overhead walls.
