Brazil South :: Surf Forecast

Reported by Charlie Fox 24 JUNE 2009, 0300Z An active storm pattern is in place where we need it - and is expected to maintain more or less through the event. One caveat here: the entirety of this forecast is based upon the following storms coming together as modeled. Keep an eye on the model plot on the Wavewatch.com, SE Brazil page.
