Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sat Aug 12 2017

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. The area of disturbed weather associated with a low pressure
system located a couple of hundred miles northeast of the Turks and
Caicos Islands continues to show some signs of organization, but
there is no evidence of a closed surface circulation. Conditions
remain conducive for development, and a tropical depression could
form during the next day or two. The low is forecast to move
northwestward and northward through the weekend, and then turn
to the northeast away from the United States early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Finally 99L made something of itself, just 600miles off our coast

 

still though, The strongest winds are on the east side which is not pointed at us, Still think we will get at least waist high, maybe chest swell Monday with light winds. Might last longer now if this expands, it's not moving all that fast. 

 

Should we start talking about the next one?  lol  We would get so many more swells if the GFS came true!  

 

Actually the canadian is worse than the GFS when it comes to tropical systems. But man if it came true once in a while we would get a heck of a swell

The CMC (C.reating M.ultiple C.yclones) is garbage

Also looks like the EURO is starting to hop on that next wave (satelittle is impressive)... and I'm supposed to go out of town next sun-tues and have yet to finish fixing my house from Matthew so........

any back to TD8...  moving NNW 14 is too fast given the aasymetrical fetch direction.  I agree on your assesment of the surf size based on the offshore buoys.  Prob waist to chest tomorrow morn.... and may be bigger up here than CFL south.  Buoy 47 is 7'@ 8 sec..... so prob cut that down to maybe 3@9 when it gets here?

All I know I'm glad I've been swimming 1/4 mile a day, or at least trying to. Bigger surf is gonna happen eventually.

The north bahama buoy looks interesting now (Sunday morning). Up to 7 feet from ESE. Something should trickle in on Monday from that.

815am eyeball viz: Something is trickling in right now....

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Thanks. Maybe a good time to blow the dust off the board! LOL, I've been surfing but so ready for bigger surf. Yeah for both school, football, AND, hurricane season for kicking off! Mosquito season is in full effect also so the next hope/hype wish will be a cold front.

The winds aren't gaining too much strength, but it's rapidly increasing surface area...which hopefully increases the size of the wind field.
