Sub-tropical/Tropical Low
May 22, 2010 - 20:45
Churning down near the Bahamas. Latest models show it as a slow moving hybrid headed toward Hatteras then stalling/looping. With high pressure to our northeast, SE gradient winds could increase for several days. A moderate long period swell from the SE is likely as well. GFS appears too robust but gives an idea of what the eastern seaboard could experience. It's always interesting when systems such as these appear so early in the season.

I've been surprised how high the surf has been lately given the minimal wind. Now I know why! Thanks!

A well established long period swell(11 second intervals)extends from our south shore beaches down to the sub-tropical low which is still churning down off SC. I'm expecting a wind shift to the Northeast tonight/tomorrow which should provide some excellent surfing for a couple days.




Great surf yesterday. I managed to splash around for a few hours on waist to chest high waves with offshore winds and bright sun. What an anomalous spring this has been.
