Hurricane Hype Machine

Jeremy    Events     Catalyst, Danielle, deerfield beach, Earl, Hurricane, Swell, Tropical Storm

Swell from Hurricane Danielle is due to start filling in up coast tonight and should continue to build throughout the day and into Sunday. It looks like that North and Central Florida will receive the brunt of the initial swell from Danielle, but as we get into Sunday afternoon and into the beginning of next week, we’ll see a building wind swell for the entire east coast of Florida that should last through at least mid week. Soon to be Hurricane Earl will then follow up with swell in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame, which will be right around the time the wind starts dying off as well. Stay tuned…
