Hey Micah: What’s Actually Happening?

Micah just posted a surf forecast for the gulf. He’s calling for mostly bad surf in the upcoming swell. The model I looked at shows 20 knot west winds with this front (see gfs model link below). His forecast isn’t what’s confusing me. It’s not unusual to see the model different front what Micah forecasts. Micah is usually pretty good. What’s confusing me is what he wrote this time. He’s talking about a low blowing over by California and it taking 24 hours for it to get here. California is on the other coast. That wouldn’t be generating any waves. Hey Tony, if you read this, would you ask him to clarify? I just don’t understand what he’s saying. Is this one like that last one where it starts on the Texas coast as a ripple? If so, shouldn’t it be a really good swell like that other one?
