If the shear wasn't in that area this wave would haved developed already as the deep convection has persisted for more than 24-36 hours.
We are talking about a wave that far in the atlantic at late october but as we know 2005 season has not followed climatology.

E-CENTRAL ATLC WAVE TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 36W S OF 15N WITH A
1008 MB LOW ON THE WAVE AXIS NEAR 9N...MOVING W 10-15 KT.
SATELLITE PICTURES INDICATE A LOW HAS FORMED ON THE WAVE BUT
VERY STRONG WLY SHEAR SHOULD SUPPRESS DEVELOPMENT. THIS SHEAR
IS ALSO ALLOWING PLENTY OF SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION TO FORM
NEAR THE WAVE...FROM 4N-10N BETWEEN 34W-38W.
I forgot to post the 8 PM Disccussion for this wave but here it is.

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE BETWEEN
AFRICA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES. UPPER-LEVEL LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT
FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT.

It certainly seems like this season is never going to end.
Its waaaaaaaaay too sheared for anything to develop here, as the TWO indicates. If it somehow survives the shear (doubtful) as it moves west, maybe several days from now it will be worth a closer look. Right now its just a disorganized mess of convection that has no chance of development.

Here we go again...WOW!
The very well defined wave over the central Atlantic is steadily moving westward. Over the past 24 hours, you can definitely see (unfortunately) that upper-level conditions are gradually becoming more favorable just as forecast a few days ago by some models. Conditions in the upper-levels should become much more favorable during the day tomorrow (not what we all want to hear) beneath a VERY powerful ridge of high pressure in the upper-levels that is dominating the central and eastern Atlantic Ocean for thousands of miles.
This only means that yes...watch out for this wave possibly developing into a tropical cyclone before it reaches the Lesser Antilles. Notice that I said, before it reaches the Lesser Antilles...Yes, this system has potential to impact the islands under a fairly persistent easterly flow.
I'm completely awed by this powerful season...

Unfortunately shear doesn't really kill these systems, it just strips them down to disorganized lows. They keep drifting west and if they encounter favorable conditions they develop. This will remain a vigorous wave drifting west over warm seas and it has a lot of ocean to find a spot with low shear.

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES. THIS
SYSTEM HAS BECOME LESS ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS...AND
UPPER-LEVEL LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT.
11:30 AM TWO.
They are not so bullish with this wave.

AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 39W/40W SOUTH OF 16N
MOVING WEST 10 TO 15 KT. A SURFACE 1008 MB LOW PRESSURE CENTER
IS NEAR 8N ALONG THE WAVE. MIDDLE TO UPPER LEVEL WINDS WITH THE
FLOW AROUND A LOW CENTER NEAR 9N52W ARE CUTTING ACROSS THE AREA
OF THIS WAVE FROM EAST TO WEST. UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONIC FLOW
ALSO IS NEAR THE WAVE FROM 7N TO 15N BETWEEN 30W AND 50W.
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS AND SOME POSSIBLE REMAINING SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ARE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE ITCZ
FROM 8N TO 15N BETWEEN 38W AND 43W
2 PM Discussion.
