On a side note: Analysts are suggesting this may be an above average, average season. Meaning that we may be looking at a season with storm frequencies at the higher end of the previously predicted ranges in the Colorado State University predictions.

East Coast – Hurricane Cristobal


Pumping surfed graced the shores of East Florida all last week.  The quality of waves produced by this storm exceeded the quality of the waves by the previous two category 1 storms of this hurricane season. Why were the waves from Cristobal so fun?  To assess this question we are going to look at the pressure of the air in the center of Hurricane Cristobal, then compare the air pressure in the center of Hurricane Arthur and Hurricane Bertha.  While many additional variables are important to determining the quality of waves produced by hurricanes, looking at the pressure of these storms will provide us with information about these storms strength and it will help us determine how accurate we can be Continue reading East Coast – Hurricane Cristobal
