love beach monster swell

[ricki]

Hey AJ,

Hole in the Wall is the southernmost point of Abaco, where the lighthouse is. Are you talking about the deepwater channel between Abacos and Eleuthera, NE Providence Channel? There must be something strong out in the Atlantic to be kicking up so many powerful, long period waves. They said they were 13 seconds in Cabarete and only 15 ft.. Any period guesses for your Love Beach swells? It is so rare for anything like that to make it to SE Florida, thanks to the Bahamas!

Did some checking apparently they were forecasting some major surf to come in from a powerful cold front that whooped the USA last week as it strengthened over the Atlantic.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - An Atlantic storm could pummel Puerto Rico and other islands with waves as high as 30 feet today, forcing Holy Week vacationers to seek alternatives to the beach.

The storm spawned tornadoes and thunderstorms across the southern United States last weekend before gaining strength over the open water, said Israel Matos, director of the U.S. Caribbean territory's National Weather Service.
