The 2nd Sub-Tropical Cyclone on record for April (Last time was 1992) has formed to the SW of Bermuda and after wavering on the thin line of cyclone status has finally been upgraded from sub-tropical to tropical. She is Tropical Storm Ana and although it's heading East and wouldn't bring swell for the East Coast (although the Azores are mentioned as possible swell targets), it's nice to see an early start to the "Hurricane" season for those cats on the right coast. Thus far us left coasters are stuck with a blown to bits South Swell.
It appears that Glen Henning and Co.'s Groundswell Society has a site up and running these days.
Surfline's March Wrap-up jives with the thoughts of SBS: "There were a only a handful of days with NW swell in the overhead range at the good spots, but NW winds did manage to hurt conditions for a good chunk of those days."
