FORECASTERS NOTES

Regardless of the predicted swell heights of this next swell event, the pattern has changed for the better. With an active storm track, thanks to a more favorable jet stream, our region should start seeing more storms and subsequently more swell than we've seen since November.

X-FACTORS

The North Pacific has ramped up with storm production again. With this region

being the primary source of swell-producing systems for the Northern Hemisphere, this is excellent news. Simply stated, things are changing for the better in terms of swell production.

That's a wrap for
the 2024
Hurricane Season

FORECASTERS NOTES
After the big predictions by both the National Weather Service and the University of Colorado, in terms of solid swell events, the 2024 Hurricane Season under-performed.

Back in late August, it started off strong with Debby and Ernesto but the rest of the season was pretty lackluster and definitely fell well below the predictions.

2024 HURRICANE SEASON PREDICTION

NOAA, the NWS and the University of Colorado issued the most aggressive hurricane season forecast on record for 2024 yet it fell far short of the predictions.

Check out the complete breakdown below:
23 named storms. 11 hurricanes. 5 major hurricanes.
