Hopefully the South-of-Cuba thingy moves up and gives us offshores for the Bermuda spinny thing. All theoretical at this point.

I agree, its all speculative now to what the models digest and put out. Even within three days out a lot can change. Offshores and waves would be nice.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Fri Oct 16 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Shower activity associated with a broad non-tropical low pressure
system located about 600 miles east-southeast of Bermuda is
continuing to become better organized, and satellite wind data
indicates that the circulation has become somewhat better defined.
Additional development of this system is expected, and a
subtropical or tropical depression could form during the next
few days while the low meanders over the central Atlantic well to
the southeast of Bermuda.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

2. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form early next week
over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Some gradual development of
this system will be possible through the middle of next week while
it moves slowly over the southwestern or western Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sat Oct 17 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Showers and thunderstorms are showing some signs of organization in
association with a non-tropical low pressure system located about
500 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Continued slow development
is expected, and a subtropical depression or storm is very likely
to form during the next day or two while the low meanders well to
the southeast of Bermuda.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

2. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form in a few days
over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Some gradual development of
this system will be possible through the middle of next week while
it moves slowly northward or north-northwestward over the western
Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

All-things-considered, , , , given what 2020 has already become, , , , I'd bet my lunch money that the area south of Cuba will develop, be named, and then go CAT3 into Lake Charles !! ?? !! ??

Seems the really hot water is confined to the Caribbean. Gulf is mostly cooling off, so if it goes north, most likely a tropical storm. Looks like the hot season's about over. Now for the winter storm season.

I'll take the ticket if you are willing to let me drag it along (pending actual swell).
Yeah, moving fast.... could be a window on wednesday. I sprained my ankle yesterday (hit a steep section that threw me out into the trough / flats and planted all my weight on my front foot.... nice a purple today. so it may be good.....

Looks like winds wont be good on this one, due to its track, and the assymetrical nature of these low-end storms

actually latest GFS update has more favorable winds.... granted time frame for quality fetch/swell direction is limited, has more potential than earlier. Unfortunately I just got back from walgreens to buy a brace for my purple blob ankle..... which needs to heal up if the wacky LONG range models (grain of salt) hold somewhat true

Although Eta's low-level center may not survive after being inland over Central America for so long, most of the global models depict a cyclone over the northwestern Caribbean Sea later this week and into the weekend which appears to develop from at least a part of Eta's remnants, and the new NHC track forecast shows the system emerging over the northwest Caribbean Sea after 96 h. However, the uncertainty in the long-range portion of the forecast remains quite high.

Hurricane Eta Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL292020
1000 AM EST Mon Nov 02 2020

Eta has become an impressive November hurricane as it continues to
undergo rapid strengthening. Visible and infrared satellite imagery
reveals a very symmetric Central Dense Overcast with cloud top
temperatures below -80C. A warm spot has recently become apparent in
infrared imagery while a small eye has been seen microwave imagery
and recent visible satellite data. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunter aircraft that completed two center penetrations into Eta this
morning reported a minimum pressure of around 972 mb, and flight-
level and SFMR winds that supported an intensity of around 85 kt.
The plane also reported a 12 n-mi-wide eye on its second pass
through the center. With the continued improvement in organization
since the plane departed, the initial intensity has been increased
to 95 kt, as the eye has become more apparent. Low vertical wind
shear and warm sea surface temperatures ahead of Eta are expected to
allow for continued rapid strengthening during the next 12 to 24
hours. The updated NHC intensity forecast is above all of the
intensity aids and now calls for Eta to become a category 4
hurricane before it nears the coast of Nicaragua. After landfall,
Eta should quickly weaken while it moves over the mountainous
terrain of Central America.

The hurricane is moving westward or 265 degrees at 8 kt, a little
slower than before. A mid-level ridge building over the
south-central United States is expected to cause Eta to turn
west-southwestward later today, and this motion should bring the
center of the hurricane near the coast of Nicaragua within the
hurricane warning area Tuesday morning. Eta is forecast to then turn
westward, moving farther inland over Central America. The track
guidance is tightly clustered during the first 48 hours or so, but
the models generally show a slower forward motion than before, and
the NHC track forecast has been adjusted accordingly. Although
Eta's low-level center may not survive after being inland over
Central America for so long, most of the global models depict a
cyclone over the northwestern Caribbean Sea later this week and into
the weekend which appears to develop from at least a part of Eta's
remnants, and the new NHC track forecast shows the system emerging
over the northwest Caribbean Sea after 96 h. However, the
uncertainty in the long-range portion of the forecast remains quite
high.

Since Eta likely to be a very slow-moving system after it makes
landfall in Central America, torrential rains and flooding will be
a major threat from Eta.

Key Messages:

1. Eta is forecast to strengthen to a major hurricane very soon, and
additional strengthening is likely before it reaches the
northeastern coast of Nicaragua on Tuesday. Catastrophic wind damage
is expected where Etas eyewall moves onshore, and preparations
should be rushed to completion within the Hurricane Warning area.

2. Through Friday evening, heavy rainfall from Eta will likely lead
to catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding and river flooding
across portions of Central America, along with landslides in areas
of higher terrain. Flash and river flooding is also possible across
Jamaica, southeast Mexico, El Salvador, southern Haiti, and the
Cayman Islands.

3. A potentially catastrophic and life-threatening storm surge,
along with battering waves, is expected along portions of the
northeastern coast of Nicaragua near and to the north of where the
center makes landfall. Water levels could reach as high as 12 to 18
feet above normal tide levels in some parts of the hurricane warning
area. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to
completion.

This is going to be catastrophic one. I can't recall the last time a hurricane that strong hit that far south. And it's going to be extremely slow moving so they are going to get worst case scenario on wind speed and flooding in a place that is ill equipped to take a hit like that.

from Surfline:

"After Eta weakens, things get rather interesting, or at least more uncertain. There's pretty good agreement on the track of the storm through Thursday and decent agreement that the remnants will eventually recurve back into the northwest Caribbean. This area is home to some of the warmest water on the planet - if the circulation remains intact, Eta has a good chance to redevelop. And could become a serious threat to land again."

-------------------------
So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Reporting from Costa Rica. It has rained pretty consistently the last three days but nothing unusual. The only dumping rain was 3 nights ago. Today though there was a landslide on the hill between Jaco and Tarcoles so the highway is closed at the moment. There is some sizable surf, but disorganized with onshore winds.

Windy has contrasting GFS and European versions of Eta, going west Florida or hitting Miami. Very different wind consequences. The European version has it doing an eventual landfall west of Tallahassee.

Windshield wiper effect until what ever is left of Eta gets back over the warm waters of the Caribbean will the track be more consistent. Guessing by the latest guidance the 4 o'clock update "the cone of uncertainty" could be more east of bit.

Eta is a Tropical Storm again and has "reformed" to the NE of where it was expected to be. Now, it looks like Miami on Monday morning, and then across to Marco Island by Monday night.

Nothing to shift Eta, so Eta goes for a walkabout in the gulf.

    Windy has GFS showing a truly weird trip for Eta, wandering slowly around the southern Gulf, eventually hitting Yucatán from the NE then going back into the Gulf, all over a week. European takes it to Tallahassee.
    Lots of wind Sunday for the Fla Atlantic coast

Oh, I definitely don't have a problem driving for surf..... but I'd rather really drive for real waves speaking off.... last night after work, I pedaled down to the beach. Some legit waves under all the chop..... then of course got caught in a gnarly rain-squall on the way home. .... hope you guys get some

Cocoa Beach is the reverse Nicaragua. Nica has 300 days a year of offshores.
CB has over 300 days a year of onshores. Plus the bottom is f...ed.

In the immortal words of Pete Dooley: "It was better back then...."

However: I'm watching and waiting and hoping for the best....

Maybe its my new board curse.

Thanks Bruce for another stellar wave riding vehicle.

another feature popped up:

A tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea is producing
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The wave is expected to
move westward into more conducive environmental conditions over the
next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to form late
this week or this weekend when the wave reaches the central or
western Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL312020
400 AM EST Mon Nov 16 2020

Iota has explosively deepened 26 mb during the past 6 hours and has
rapidly intensified an incredible 35 kt during that same time. An
Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and aircrew that flew the
arduous, 10-hour round-trip mission into Iota reported a maximum
700-mb flight-level wind speed of 134 kt and peak SFMR surface winds
of 121 kt, which supports the initial intensity of 125 kt, making
Iota a strong Category 4 hurricane. Furthermore, the pressure fell
an amazing 10 mb from 945 mb down to 935 mb in a little over an hour
between those two fixes. The crew also encountered intense lightning
and hail in the southwestern quadrant, where recent remote data
indicate that frequent lightning is still occurring. The aircrew
reported that the eye was around 15 n mi wide, and the latest
GOES-16 hi-resolution infrared satellite imagery confirms that the
eye diameter, and that the eye has cleared out with continued
warming eye temperatures and cooling surrounding cloud tops.

1. Iota is expected to continue to rapidly intensify and could
possibly be a catastrophic category 5 hurricane when it approaches
the coast of Central America tonight.

This is a catastrophic situation unfolding for northeastern
Nicaragua with an extreme storm surge of 15-20 ft forecast along
with destructive winds and potentially 30 inches of rainfall, and
it is exacerbated by the fact that it should make landfall in
almost the exact same location that category 4 Hurricane Eta did
about two weeks ago.

Iota is expected to remain a catastrophic category 5 hurricane
when it approaches the coast of Nicaragua tonight. Extreme winds and
a life-threatening storm surge are expected along portions of the
coast of northeastern Nicaragua, where a hurricane warning is in
effect.

160mph winds and expected to strengthen slightly before landfall. They just got hammered by that Cat 4 too. Sucks

Hurricane Iota Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL312020

Iota is a very impressive hurricane, especially for this late in the
year, with a distinct, warm eye on satellite images and a rather
electrified eyewall from the GOES lightning detector. An Air Force
Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft found maximum 700-mb flight-winds
of about 147 kt, with SFMR values of 140-145 kt, and a central
pressure of about 917 mb. A blend of all these data leads to an
initial wind speed of 140 kt, making Iota a category 5 hurricane,
the latest category 5 on record for the Atlantic basin. A little
more strengthening is possible today with fairly light shear and
warm waters before Iota makes landfall tonight. Rapid weakening is
anticipated over central America, and Iota should dissipate in a
couple of days.

    La Prensa, Nicaragua says it's the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the country. Forty thousand people evacuated. The Haulover community is mostly Indigenous and Black.
    Honduras is still evacuating people from Eta.
    The Washington Post (excellent weather coverage) reports Iota weakened to a very strong category 4 shortly before landfall, which was only about 14 miles from where Eta hit.

I am raising money for a friend in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua who lost his roof. He also will share the proceeds with neighbors for food, clothing, and shelter.
