Swell Direction
Thursday
9/9
Down
NW 15+ early
No swell of interest forecast
Low pressure is forecast building over Nova Scotia setting up 15-20 kt westerly winds over the Northeast US Coast and putting a damper on the Bermuda High. No swell producing fetch is forecast. Minimal background swell from what was Gaston is to be cut down by these offshore winds.

Friday
9/10
Down
NW 10+ early
No swell of interest forecast
Low pressure is to continue building over Nova Scotia setting up a broader area of 20 kt westerly winds over and off the Northeast Coast suppressing windswell development and repelling the Bermuda High. No swell producing fetch is forecast. Igor is to be slowly tracking west, but a very long ways away.

SE 10 early
No swell of interest forecast
Low pressure is to be moving east out of the picture off Newfoundland while the Bermuda High remains offset to the east. The models suggest Igor is to be moving within range with winds to 80 kts (92 mph), but still well east of the Leeward Islands.

Monday
9/13
Down

No swell of interest forecast
A dead neutral pressure pattern is forecast over the entire Eastern Seaboard with no swell producing fetch forecast within hundreds of nmiles of the coast. But Igor is to still be tracking west and building strength, but well east of the Leeward Islands.

Outlook

Beyond the models suggest the Bermuda High is to remain suppressed well to the east with Igor tracking under it's southern periphery, lifting to the northwest late Wednesday (9/15) about 1400 nmiles east-southeast of Florida. At this time it looks like Igor will not get a whole lot closer before tracking north up the western quadrant of the Bermuda High bound for the North Atlantic, getting sucked into the persistent trough of low pressure well off the Northeast US coast. Smaller long period swell could result mid-next week with luck.
