How we get waves from hurricanes and more Surf Photos from Rick Briggs

We have a couple of new stories up on www.Solspot.com

There is a visually stunning new photo gallery from our new friend Rick Briggs. He shoots a lot of beautiful Central American and Mexico lineups and with only a few years under his belt has some amazing water shots from many of the top tier breaks  in the region.

Check out his IN FOCUS Article


 

Once you have got your warm water fantasy gallery out of the way...you can also geek out (weather-nerd style) and check out the new post from Adam Wright on "How we get waves from Hurricanes"

SWELL ALERT – AN INTENSE SOUTH PACIFIC STORM IS BLASTING OUT A LARGE SOUTHERN HEMI SWELL FOR THIS WEEK



If you have been reading the long-range forecasts or even remotely paying attention to the swell models you probably already know that a strong storm is currently tearing up the South Pacific storm track and is already starting to send out a hefty dose of Southern Hemi swell for the middle of next week. This system is big enough and moving along such a good track, that its swell will light up breaks all over Central California, Southern California, Mexico, and Central America.

While it will be good sized everywhere, each region has some differences in overall height and timing of the swell’s peak, so we thought it would helpful to break it down by the different surf zones.
