    Danny looks like he's going to be a monster, hopefully he'll track north and back across the Atlantic :D

    Looks like the winds may blow offshore next week,if there's a good second period in that storm it'll be bedlam....

    It's only forecast to be in Florida next week

    But if it tracks north and west my guess will be early week after

    What does this mean rodento? Can you tell me what day I should take off work. Can you tell me what spot will be 6ft and offshore on that day. Thank you grandmaster hurricane forecaster.

    All you need to know is that hurricane swell is special and very very rare

    A storm can form off Africa and take up to three weeks to travel across to Florida, up north to Greenland and west....

    What it offers is decent waves with 16+ seconds (period) and hopefully light offshore winds

    When it happens its magic and well worth waiting for but this year it looks like it's not going to happen

    That's not to say we won't get good surf but the forecast has been kinda grim of late

    Ah, someday you'll get it right and you can say, "see lads, called it" and tell us how epic it was. Give me a big dirty mid-winter polar front-steered low with nobody around and keep yer fancy warm water nonsense ;)

    The Magicseaweed forecast is flat out for the foreseeable future.
    No sign of anything.

    Although I was fishing in doughmore yesterday evening and there was a nice 4 foot face on a wave near where that concrete structure is at the north end of the beach.
    The high tide was probably helping too.

    That wave only lasted an hour and alas no bass either lol

    Stand Up Paddling could be an option?
