FORECAST OVERVIEW
STORM ALERT
Our region is entering an extended period of onshore wind and additional surf as
Tropical Storm Ophelia creeps up the East Coast. This pattern continues through
the weekend and into next week as Ophelia drags over the region and moves into the North Atlantic.
THE X FACTOR(S)
Watching the Pacific as new storms drop out of the Aleutian Islands. Some of these systems will cross over the US and will have both weather and swell potential.
Check the 72 Hour Forecast below for details.
72 HOUR FORECAST
WEEKEND
STORM ALERT
Strong E combo swell builds on Friday night, peaks in the 8-10ft range midday Saturday. Swell gradually drops a bit but remains strong on Sunday. However,
wind remains strong onshore as Ophelia makes landfall on Saturday night/Sunday
morning, then slowly drags over the region through early next week.

SURF and STORM
ALERT NEXT WEEK
26 SEPTEMBER - 1 OCTOBER 2023
SURF and STORM ALERT
Another round larger surf from Ophelia but onshore wind remains a factor.
Stay tuned.
COACHING SCHEDULE Click HERE for details
FORECASTERS NOTE: A pattern of onshore wind, wonky weather (and shitty surf) is in the forecast for next week and potentially next weekend. Stay tuned.
The X-Factor(s)
This next round of large surf and shithouse wind will do some damage to the sandbars and it may take a little while for them to straighten out.
Plus, the current path of the jet stream will put any cross-country system directly over our region, so this will further create wind and weather issues until it changes.

Two active systems in
the North Atlantic now
Tropical Storm Ophelia
plus another system moving into the Gulf
TROPICAL FORECAST
See the map and check out the complete breakdown below
1. Tropical Storm Ophelia has recently formed between Bermuda and North Carolina. Ophelia is moving NNW at 15mph, making landfall in North Carolina early Saturday morning, then continues to move north behind NJ on Sunday. This storm will then move back into the Atlantic off the NJ/NY coast on Tuesday morning. This storm will be both a source of new swell and a strong onshore wind.
2. Tropical Storm Margo at one point was a Category One Hurricane but has since downgraded to a Tropical Storm. Regardless, this storm will continue to produce ESE groundswell through the weekend and into next week as it meanders around the Central Atlantic.
2. Tropical Disturbance has entered the Atlantic Basin yesterday, is moving WNW at 15mph and has been given a 90% chance of development over the next 7 days. Stay tuned.
FORECASTERS NOTES
We are on the backside of the peak of the 2023 Hurricane Season but conditions remain very favorable for storm development.
