Actually, Wednesday could see some of the worse sees over the oil gusher site since it started gushing. Over 10 feet predicted now. Wont get to good skimming seas until Friday. Here is the latest sea height predictions for near the oil spill site. Courtesy of stormsurf. Buoy location 29.18N 88.30W
We are in Hurricane season now. Bonnie is probably gonna develop from the storm system just to the east of the Yucatan later on Tuesday. Too much shear today. It is predicted to take a more northern track then Alex. Will head towards the Texas/Louisiana state line. The Oil Gusher site will get exposed to much stronger winds and seas because Bonnie will be closer. There are currently three tropical waves lined up to enter the Gulf and a low pressure system currently south of Louisiana. Seas are gonna be fairly rough most of the time. Best shot for skimming right now is the coming weekend.
