Long Range Forecast / Potential Storm Developing for APT/Punta de Lobos Tow-In Event

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 15 May, 2008 : - - As of this morning we are monitoring a potentially large swell development that could make land fall by Saturday May 24th/25th. We will be keeping a very close watch on this new development. If the swell holds true we will go to amber alert early next week.

As we all know this is a long range forecast and fairly premature to make any calls. These swell patterns can look amazing one day and look like terrible the next. Better to be informed and ready to go, just in case this is the one.
