I've seen better. It will probably poof as soon as it hits the coast, maybe even before that.

This year, there have been a good number of strong waves inside Africa,but as they hit the water, they start to become less defined as we have seen so far during the season. Lets see if this one is the one that starts in earnest,the CV season.

Definitely has a spin, and SAL is near non-existent in the 10-17 north area (though there is an outbreak farther north) so I recon this one has as decent or better a chance as any of her predecessors

All waves have to be watched, no matter how unimpressive they are. Hurricane Rita formed in part from a rather unimpressive tropical wave that interacted with a frontal boundary.

That could be a Cape Verde long-tracker perhaps?
