Updated Saturday, September 22nd
EVENT WINDOW: September 24-30
Brief Overview:
Average north-northwest swell at first, with a much more lined-up long-period northwest swell hitting around Wednesday, persisting through Thursday and Friday and dropping during the weekend. Winds are mostly light and variable in the mornings with light perhaps moderate cross or onshores in the afternoons.
Synopsis:
Pressure gradients are quite weak over most of the North Atlantic, but a tight area of low pressure is developing between Newfoundland and Greenland. This will maintain strength and move slowly northeast over the next few days, generating a pulse of long-period northwest swell. A disturbance near southwest Ireland is also generating some north swell. High pressure moves in over Britain and Ireland for most of the week, extending its influence over the Iberian Peninsula.
