Hurricane Igor is currently a category 4 storm with sustained winds of 150 mph and is pushing some pretty substantial swell in our direction.

After a quick scan of the current forecasts, here’s what we can expect:

Thursday: Long period swell from Igor showing in the morning, but really picking up in the afternoon in the head high plus range. Unfortunately, this will be the most windy day with E winds at 10-15+ mph.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday: Right now, all three days are looking to be in the head high plus range with E to ENE winds in the 10+ mph range. Winds should be light early so be on it!

Monday: Swell starts backing down and winds pick back up into the 10-15+ mph range from the ENE.
