Wave outlook improves... caveat emptor: it is still an East Coast long-range forecast!
In the news
The outlook for next Tuesday/Wednesday and the back half of next week is
of lower confidence than normal as the latest computer model guidance
suggests the tropical disturbance in the eastern Caribbean Sea and a
passing frontal boundary will help provide an increase of
windswell/swell for the region. We will take a conservative approach
this far out and so we are expecting a modest increase in local
windswell and SE swell mix for Tuesday/Wednesday and into the second
half of next week. Stay tuned as we closely monitor this over the next
several days.
TROPICS
We are watching an area of low pressure is located in the eastern
Caribbean Sea this afternoon that is tracking slowly towards the WNW.
We will continue to monitor this feature as it moves near the Greater
Antilles over the coming days then tracks near the Turks and Caicos
Islands late in the week/over the weekend.
Elsewhere, we are watching a tropical wave near the Yucatan Peninsula
that is expected to move into the Bay of Campeche during the middle part
of the week. This system will not impact our surf outlook.
Finally, a disorganized tropical wave has pushed off the West African
coastline. We will have several days to track this system as it moves
NW/WNW past the Cape Verde Islands.
