Igor

Is it me or have hurricane names become the National Hurricane Center version of your friends that that pick torturous names for their children? Igor? Really? I don't recall so many names like this in the past, but unless they threw some swell this way or made national headlines I have easily forgotten about them.

Tropical Storm Igor is in the Atlantic basin and is looking good for further development. He should be upgraded to a hurricane soon and should reach catagory 3 around Tuesday. If his track continues as projected we should start to see swell in New Jersey by the end of the week.

This is going to be a fun week. The Action Expo is September 15 and 16 at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City and when it is over Igor should be providing us with some much needed energy in the water. Come check out Organik at booth 608 then score some waves.

Let's hope he doesn't disappoint...
