Forecast has Imelda tracking north offshore from the Cape while strengthening to a hurricane about the same time ground swell from Major Hurricane Humberto filters in. Coastal Volusia will have some serious erosion from the combination of Imelda's N/NE wind swell and Humberto's long period easterly ground swell Tuesday/Wednesday. Late in the week high pressure is forecast to build down the east US coast, tightening the gradient once again with a nor'easter likely leading into and over the weekend.

The first 10 days in October will be a period of strong onshore winds combined with hurricane ground swells. Surf run-up and beach over-wash could be problematic along the Volusia coast with Oct 8-10th peak lunar/Fall tides arriving.
