The good old "Mr Toad's Wild Ride" was the best; it was always a good place to burn one.

From NHC this Tuesday morning: FORECAST VALID 10/0600Z 27.6N 79.9W MAX WIND 65 KT...GUSTS 80 KT. That's about 30 miles due east of Vero, 1:AM Thurs morning. Hope they're not under calling this one. Not much lead time.

Is anyone else disturbed by the current lack of accuracy when forecasting these things? Is it time to bring back witch doctors and medicine men? Or perhaps we should pay closer attention to the color of the caterpillars and other critters?
Actually, there was a flock of Frigates over Cocoa Beach yesterday. I found that a little disturbing. ------------------------- I was right. Edited: 11/08/2022 at 05:53 AM by Cole |

Hurricane forecasts are still not as good as they might be. The humans at NHC almost always out-perform the models they use. That said, forecasts have improved quite a lot. Including meaningful storm surge forecasts.

Why are people so worried about the storm surge on this one? It's barely a Cat1. We've had many come to us. Is there something special going on or are they gunshy after Ian on the west coast? Maybe because it's coming straight east to wast?

There is significant erosion north of the cape on some of the beaches from Ian. Quite a few homes there are on the brink of being swallowed by the ocean. I guess that is why.

There is also a full moon, so higher tide than normal.

I paddled out at Sat Beach this afternoon, it was pretty bonkers. Was mid tide and already the waves were hitting the cliff Ian left from the erosion. I balked on the 1st 4-5 waves, caught about a 12 footer and was promptly annihilated. I paddled in after that, my current short board can't handle waves like that.

Storm surge predictions are 5 ft or under, but extend along a very long stretch of coast. Nicole doesn't have very high winds, but it's an enormously large storm with a big wind field. In 2004, hurricane Frances, also a cat 1, caused serious flooding in Indian River Co. Water was creeping across lawns across from Riverside Park. Quite a lot of flooding at John's Island, a huge gated community dating to the 1970s (where a lot of teardowns with elevation raising have been going on, typical around the county). I'm surprised at the lack of evacuation orders.
