TD7 - The Next Tropical Fish Storm in the Atlantic?

Paddlers' Place
#1

Contrary to NHC projections, it’s been a fairly quiet Atlantic tropical season. We are now in the “height” of it.

After Hurricane Earl, the only possibility right now is Tropical Depression 7.

We’ll see in a week or so. Personally, I would love a “fish storm” with good groundswell. With Labor Day over, it’ll be fun to get good waves without the crowd.

If it does get crowded, I have been eyeing a point break that is not readily accessible with the waveski because of the private property and “McMansions” surrounding that point. With the Sterling Progression, I’m willing to give it a go. Will take about a three mile paddle to get to that point, but it looks ideal for long boat surfing.

Fingers crossed.

Ugh
Earl was an unwelcome houseguest that overstayed any welcome
10 inches of rain and lots of wind and it lasted several days. as it just sat on the Grand Banks
Seas have been high
I am in Newfoundland
soggy

You probably got impacted way more up there than we actually did in New England. We got days of surf and a smattering of raindrops. We could use more rain with the waves (or - dare I say it - or more rain than even waves).

Here is the visual surfing celebration of that fish storm named, Earl, from Florida up to Nova Scotia and beyond.

Wow… Barely, a category 1, Fiona did a number on Puerto Rico. She is supposed to ramp up to cat 3/4. Hope, Fiona takes the “fish storm” track…

The eastern seaboard is going to see some serious groundswells this week. Paddle safe out there.

Aiming straight for the Gulf of St Lawrence and Newfoundland
They are paying attention
Hope it misses Ramea though that tiny island of 200 or so folks is wind powered

Wow. The current track is not looking good for Bermuda and the Canadian Maritimes.

Fingers crossed for them.
