STORM TRACK
Imogen started its life in the warm waters off the coast of Florida and, unlike most low pressures, its energy was directed further south than typical storms headed straight towards the Bay of Biscay. Magicseaweed was showing a huge black blob on its swell chart which means the potential for waves in the 50 feet range. As for the impact on the UK, the major factor here was the severity of the winds forecast. Along the south coast we were talking 60 knots plus with a six metre swell, which all sounded great in theory but when reality strikes the chances of clean waves and down the line perfection for most spots were off the cards. With almost zero chance of a break in the winds, this was a storm shouting out for wrap around spots and shelter. Maybe we were not going to ride the biggest waves but quality was possible and for us, that was the name of the game!
