rodento

First named storm of the season, Alberto coming nowhere near us but at least it’s a start

Mickeroo

Jaysus, that time of the year already?

rodento

B is for Beryl

rodento

She's now the first hurricane of the season :D:D

With a high chance a second named storm just of the east coast of the states in a few days

Anyway its always good crack trying to track the path of the storms here

Chris has just formed and is one that is well worth keeping an eye on

rodento

Looks like a direct hit - hopefully winds will play ball

rodento

Looks like the heat wave is ending with a bang:eek:

Never mind that check out the peak period chart, there's a 0.42 to 0.5 m @ about 19 seconds swell about to hit the south coast, could be some great logging waves

Came up to the NW for the weekend for some surfing and yesterday it was completely flat (I know Saturday wasn't forecast to be peak swell, but I still expected to see SOMETHING)..... I felt like I'd gotten up on Christmas eve thinking it would be Christmas day, devistating! Hopefully we'll see something by this evening.

Hey Emptytree I hear ya pain, rule of thumb for me is to keep track of the swell and its direction so I'm always checking the navy wam wharts

https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/wxmap_cgi/cgi-bin/wxmap_single.cgi?area=ww3_atlantic&dtg=2018071418&prod=sgwvht&tau=012&set=SeaState

If there is any south in the swell direction its a bugger to get anything around sligo but for this purposes's of this thread I'm hoping for winds to play ball for tuesday.

And on another note Beryl has reformed so fingers crossed

Thanks Rodento. They're great links, I'll try some of those in future. I've always just been lazy about it and used MSW.

Debby has formed as a storm in the North Atlantic, in what can only be described as a very odd season

rodento

Ernesto formed in the North Atlantic, another strange one, due to pass Monday’ish

rodento

More traditional storm forming, hope it’ll give us a decent track

rodento

Hurricane Florence is the third of the session and looking at the navy wams it's going to get busy over the next few weeks.

But hopefully not as busy as Sligo over the weekend :eek::pac:

Nothing beats swapping waves with one other in the water:D:D:D

rodento

She is now a category 4 Hurricane and is forecast to be one till at least Monday, we’ll worth following the track of this one

rodento

Should have three hurricane's in the Atlantic on monday, one has to deliver

rodento

Worth keeping an eye on Helene, looks like she'll be arriving from the south on tuesday/wednesday.

At which point the atlantic is starting to look very very interesting

Hoping Helene will send something tasty up the Irish Sea

rodento

Worth keeping an eye on Leslie, was ment to fizzle out but ðŸ˜

rodento

Hurricane Leslie heading up to the English Channel

rodento

Oscar may well be the final one of the season - good decent track
