Danielle and Earl are going to make every surfer on the east coast extremely happy!!!

Tropical Depression 4 has formed in the Atlantic! Bring on the waves!!!!!

As per the 11am update, the National Hurricane Center has announced the formation of Tropical Depression Three in the Bahamas. The Hurricane Hunters are en route to the storm to get better readings of pressure levels and wind speeds but it looks like we’ll have Tropical Storm Bonnie some time today. 

Tropical Storm warnings have been issued for the Bahamas, South Florida, and the Keys for the next 48 hours. Also looks like it will be a rough weekend for the oil cleanup crew in the Gulf as this storm looks like it is going to cross right over where everything is happening. 

Hurricane Alex has made landfall in Northeast Mexico as a Category 2 hurricane packing sustained winds of 100 mph.

It’s official. As per the 10pm public advisory from the NOAA, the first hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season is Hurricane Alex. This is also the first Atlantic hurricane in the month of June since 1995. Alex is right on the border of hurricane status, packing winds of 75mph and gusts of 85mph, making him a very weak Category 1.

Got my fingers crossed that the weather forecasts will stay this way for this weekend which is my favorite weekend and holiday of the year! 

Tropical Storm Alex, now weakened to a tropical depression again as it crosses over the Yucatan Peninsula, should have no problem restrengthening and becoming this year’s first Hurricane as it encounters low wind shear the warm waters of the Gulf. The good news is that it will stay clear of the oil spill and miss the US. The bad news is it will likely make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane somewhere in Eastern Mexico.

I made a post the other day on SURFBANG that is loaded with facts about how any tropical weather system will interact with the oil spill in the Gulf. You can check it out and read the facts here.

Here it is, the first tropical depression of the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Likely to strengthen and be Tropical Storm Alex some time tomorrow. We’ll see how this thing pans out after it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula and enters the Gulf of Mexico. Texas is looks like you might have some waves and then some squally weather later next week.

Hurricane Celia has reached Category 5 and is packing a punch with 195mph wind gusts!

She’s a tiny storm but a very very powerful one.

Good thing she’s out in the middle of the Pacific and will stay there.

Cabo is going to go OFF in a couple days!

Regarding my post about the 16 year old girl lost at sea, here is an approximation where she is according to Surfline.com.

Here is Abby’s approximate location on the Surfline LOLA swell model..she is 500 miles north of Antartica in between the southern capes of South America & South Africa, the seas are 20’+, with the central storm location maxing at out at wave heights at 30’+. Let’s hope she can handle it and stay strong in this storm.

Early season sub-tropical activity = WAVES!

Its gon rain.

Perfect weather in NY to bring in Spring this weekend!
