The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season is a record breaking season, and is the most active hurricane season on record. As of November 17th, we have seen 30 named storms, 13 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes. The 2020 season has broken the record of named storms set in 2005 with 27 named storms, and the only other Hurricane season to flip over to the Greek Alphabet naming system. It has also broken the record for landfalling storms with 12, 6 of which were at hurricane status.

The hurricane season, which officially ends November 30th, is still active and currently Hurricane Iota which made landfall yesterday in Nicaragua as a category 5 hurricane is moving inland through Nicaragua.

As for surf this Fall, from the looks of the media coming out from up and down the East Coast, I think many East Coasters will be looking back on this year with a lot of solid memories. Hurricane Teddy is one that sticks in our mind, and here’s how Brett Barley and friends took on Teddy in the Outer Banks.
