Rewind: Hurricane Kirk Surf On The East Coast

“Major Hurricane Kirk was not the only feature that supplied the recent run of swell to the northern half of the East Coast, but it certainly put the exclamation point on the end,” explains Surfline forecaster Rob Mitstifer. “Initially, remnant energy associated with ex-Hurricane Helene moved off the Outer Banks last week to spawn a large, non-tropical low that meandered towards Bermuda. That initial mid-period easterly swell was a good warmup pulse, before stronger, long-period swell peaked on Monday with widespread high-high to overhead waves at the better spots. At the same time, a passing cold front allowed for improving conditions in the Northeast US and Mid Atlantic as the Kirk swell peaked.”
