Hurricane Season

rodento

So it begins

Worth keeping an eye on the site and the navy charts

Hopefully Claudette will send something this way, weak as hell but better than nothing

rodento

Hopefully this will be the start of something decent

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

Hopefully erika won't turn out to be such a damp squid

Erika on track to head north

Mickeroo

Nice, hopefully something happening soon so. I haven't been in the water in ages.

Looks like the winds may blow offshore next week,if there's a good second period in that storm it'll be bedlam....
I know where I'll be surfing for sure lol

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.

rodento

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

linnanea

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

Stealthfins

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

seachto7

Stand Up Paddling could be an option?

Stealthfins

Or shore angling ðŸ˜

If you like howling offshore, keep an eye out for next week

rodento

Worth keeping an eye on 8, not named yet but due to hit the english channel next week

There's a couple of lads in down on the south coast.

rodento

Can't work out if Ida will be a monster or not

rodento

Just add Ida isn't the only system worth keeping an eye on, next week could be interesting

rodento

Shockingly bad session but there is still hope

Maybe as early as next friday

rodento

Lahinch showing 3m+ @ 23 seconds.... :eek:

rodento

If forecast stays on track it'll be a insane weekend but those winds need to drop

Have tempted to to get a sneaky mid week one and wait for the winds to drop

I was going to go to Waterford but I see the winds are forecast 46mph !!

Is Tbay sheltered from a S/W wind ?
