Katia is probably going south and into Mexico.  Jose will probably turn north before he gets to Florida.  And Irma is currently heading our way, according to the NHC predictions.

If you check the Euro and GFS models, they are very similar right now, both making landfall down around Miami and then heading up towards the Treasure Coast very close to Port St. Lucie.  Of course there is still time for things to change and there is a large cone of uncertainty that could include Irma going more east of us, only making landfall north of Florida.  Still too soon to tell for sure.

That is a pretty sharp turn north and away from Cuba.  It could still turn sooner or later.

Below is the surf prediction for the Fort Pierce area.  At this time the predicted Sebastian surf is supposed to be about the same but maybe a foot or two less at the peak.

As you can see the surf is supposed to begin increasing Saturday and peaking late Sunday.

That's all for now.
