Rough Surf At Massachusetts Beaches This Week

The tropics are active, with several tropical systems scattered about. None are presently forecast to come anywhere near us.

However, these storms will churn up the seas.  We'll get southerly swells from Jerry, and the surf will stay active as Karen gets further north. Lorenzo is expected to form off of Africa today, but that one is really far away.

The surf heights will depend on the strength, duration and northern reach of the storms. Damaging surf is not expected, and the only people who need to worry about it are bathers/boaters/surfers.

The swells will primarily hit south and southeast facing beaches. They could be doing their thing on our beaches through the weekend.

The NWS Boston Facebook page had "Surfer's delight?" as their lead when posting about the tropics yesterday.

We'll be back with an update if need be.
