Overview A trough from the Great Lakes to the Northern Gulf is forecast to move eastward and create conditions for more cold air to stream down the Florida Peninsula as we move through Monday night and in to Tuesday. The pressure gradient between this feature and a low deepening off the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast has created a significant Northeast fetch pointed at…
Weekend East-Northeast Swell
Overview A low off the Mid-Atlantic interacting with a High Pressure advancing Northeast will set up a nice gradient of North to Northeast winds targeting the Florida coast. It’s not a major storm, so we’re not expecting huge numbers- but it should get in to the fun-sized range this weekend. Winds may not entirely cooperate, but we may see some…

More September Sessions from Mid-Atlantic Low
A low exited the mid-Atlantic region and is forecast to hug the Northeast coast before heading out of the picture. As this low moves up the coast, look for a solid windswell/groundswell to fill in to exposed coastlines. Conditions will be pretty raw since the low is so close to land.
Windswell Sunday Funday
We have a low off the Southeast coast that formed in the wake of a dissipated cold front. While the storm is not predicted to develop in to a tropical system, it still is creating the wind necessary to build a small swell for Florida this weekend
Hurricane Edouard Surf Forecast
Our fifth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic Basin Tropical Season is chugging along nicely in the Western Atlantic. The storm is nearing Category 3 status, as conditions have been favorable for development- and will continue to be conducive for continued strengthening. Luckily, the storm poses no threat to land…except for high surf along exposed coasts.

In the mid-90’s I started surfing. Luckily for me, my formative years as a surfer coincided with the advent of the internet age. As a teenage kid with a web browser, I spent countless hours reading and studying any surf-related website I could find; usually homegrown sites created by surfers for surfers. I’d spend the time I couldn’t surf…
