The Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT) recognizes eight tropical cyclones for the 1877 season. Three storms attained hurricane status, with winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) or greater. The fourth hurricane peaked with maximum sustained winds up to 115 mph (185 km/h) and a minimum atmospheric pressure of {{convert|955|mbar|inHg|abbr=on|lk=on}},{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} making it a major hurricane.{{cite report|work=Hurricane Research Division; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|date=May 2024|title=North Atlantic Hurricane Basin (1851-2023) Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT|access-date=December 17, 2024|url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html|location=Miami, Florida}} Neither meteorologists José Fernández-Partagás and Henry F. Diaz in 1995 nor the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project added any previously undocumented storms. However, a 2014 study by climate researcher Michael Chenoweth recommended the removal of the first, sixth, seventh, and eight systems from HURDAT, while also arguing for the addition of four new storms, for a net loss of one cyclone. However, Chenoweth's proposals have yet to be incorporated into HURDAT.

The track for the first known storm begins on August 1 near the Turks and Caicos Islands and ends after the cyclone struck New Brunswick four days later.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Three people drowned after that cyclone sank the schooner Vanname. September featured four systems, three of which intensified into hurricanes.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} High tides, heavy rainfall, and strong winds from the season's storm produced almost $500,000 in damage in Texas and Louisiana. Later in September, the season's fourth cyclone caused devastation in areas throughout its path, inflicting more than $2 million in damage and at least 84 deaths, mostly on Curaçao. Two tropical storms are known to have existed in October. The eighth and final cyclone of the season is estimated to have developed by November 28 near Exuma in the Bahamas. Moving northeastward, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on November 29 prior to crossing Atlantic Canada.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 73, higher than the previous five seasons but less than three other years that decade. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have higher values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of {{convert|39|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.

Mimicking the path created in the 1993 reanalysis led by C. J. Neumann, the track for this cyclone begins north of Turks and Caicos Islands on August 1, one day before Florida reported stormy conditions.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 10. It tracked along the eastern edge of the Bahamas, before paralleling the East Coast of the United States. By August 2, the tropical storm was nearly a hurricane, though records show that winds never exceeded 70 mph (110 km/h).{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} A schooner known as Vanname recorded sustained winds of {{convert|69|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} on the following day.{{cite web|url=https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/centerdata1871-1880.htm|title=Center fix data: 1871-1880|publisher=National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Research Division|accessdate=December 8, 2024}} The cyclone then gradually weakened while heading generally northeast, making landfall near Cape Spencer, New Brunswick, with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) on August 5. Shortly thereafter, the storm was last noted over the western Gulf of St. Lawrence.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

Three people drowned as the Vanname capsized, while seven people survived by clinging to the remnants of the ship until being rescued by the schooner Minnie Reppelier. On land, the storm produced elevated winds in the United States from Florida to New York. Nova Scotia recorded falling barometric pressures. Climate researcher Michael Chenoweth could not confirm the existence of this storm due to potentially unreliable accounts, erring on the side of proposing the removal of this cyclone from HURDAT.{{cite journal|last1=Chenoweth|first1=Michael|title=A New Compilation of North Atlantic Tropical Cyclones, 1851–98|journal=Journal of Climate|date=December 2014|volume=27|issue=12|page=8682|url=https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/27/23/jcli-d-13-00771.1.xml?tab_body=pdf|doi=10.1175/JCLI-D-13-00771.1|publisher=American Meteorological Society|bibcode=2014JCli...27.8674C|doi-access=free|accessdate=April 29, 2024}}

Although the Monthly Weather Review reported decreasing atmospheric pressures over the Gulf of Mexico as early as the night of September 12, the track for this storm begins on September 14 about {{convert|110|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} west-northwest of the Yucatán Peninsula. Initially moving northwestward, the cyclone turned northward on September 16, roughly 24 hours before it intensified into a hurricane. Later on September 17, the hurricane curved east-northeastward while just offshore Texas.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} At 16:00 UTC the next day, the storm made landfall to the southwest of Cocodrie, Louisiana, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and an estimated minimum pressure of {{convert|982|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}}.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} On September 19 the hurricane made another landfall at Fort Walton Beach, Florida. It quickly weakened back to a tropical storm while still in the state of Florida. After emerging into the Atlantic on September 20, the storm was last noted the next day roughly {{convert|175|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

The entire coast of Texas experienced impacts from this storm. Galveston observed sustained winds up to {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} and tides reached up to {{convert|5.2|ft|m|abbr=on}} above mean low water. Additionally, a 24-hour period saw {{convert|4.64|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rainfall, setting the daily rainfall record for September 17.{{cite report|author=Roth, David M.|publisher=National Weather Service Camp Springs, Maryland|date=February 4, 2010|title=Texas Hurricane History|access-date=December 18, 2024|page=22|url=http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/txhur.pdf}} Parts of Galveston became submerged by tides for a few hours and a few unoccupied buildings were severely impacted by the storm.

Although the steamer Antonio Lopez may have encountered this storm as early as September 11, a track could not be constructed as far back as that date because the location of the ship was not logged.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 12. Instead, the Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT) initiates the track as a Category 1 hurricane about {{convert|900|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} northeast of the Lesser Antilles on September 16.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Reports from the ship Harley John and an unnamed vessel indicated the cyclone possessed sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} The hurricane moved generally northwestward for a few days until turning northward on September 20.

On September 21, a tropical storm was first observed east of Grenada and Saint Vincent.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 13. Moving westward at a low latitude, the cyclone intensified into a hurricane early the next day while moving between Grenada and Tobago. The storm then remained close to the coast of South America while strengthening, becoming a Category 2 hurricane on the present-day Saffir–Simpson scale on September 23. Early on the next day, the system curved west-northwestward before striking Venezuela's Paraguaná Peninsula and Colombia's Guajira Peninsula. The cyclone turned northwestward by September 26, passing near the northeast tip of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Upon reaching the central Gulf of Mexico, the storm began trekking to the north-northeast on October 1 and then to the northeast by the next day.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

Early on October 3, the system intensified into a Category 3 hurricane, shortly before making landfall near present-day Mexico Beach, Florida,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and a minimum pressure of {{convert|955|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}}.{{cite report|url=https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata_1876.htm|date=May 2015|title=Documentation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Changes in HURDAT|author=Landsea, Christopher W. |work=Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|accessdate=December 18, 2024|location=Miami, Florida|display-authors=etal}} The storm rapidly weakened after moving inland, falling to tropical storm intensity over south-central Georgia several hours later. While passing over North Carolina on October 4, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, which continued northeastward until dissipating offshore Nova Scotia on the next day.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Chenoweth's study extends the track of this storm back to the central Atlantic on September 16. Following a similar path through the eastern and central Caribbean, Chenoweth proposed a major hurricane from September 23 to September 27. Unlike in HURDAT, however, Chenoweth also suggested that the cyclone crossed part of Central America and the Gulf of Honduras before striking the Yucatán Peninsula and then reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Strong winds generated by the storm on Grenada downed some trees and telegraph lines and damaged some roofs. Saint Vincent also reported strong winds and heavy rains, but little damage occurred. The cyclone left catastrophic impacts on Curaçao. The New York Times noted that in Willemstad, "many of the most solid structures were crushed as if they were things of paper and many persons were buried in their ruins." Waves completely swept away a nunnery, with only one nun surviving. Numerous ships were lost in the vicinity of Curaçao. It is estimated that the storm caused at least 70 deaths and about $2 million on the island.{{cite web|url=https://www.meteo.cw/climate.php|title=Climate Summary|publisher=Meteorological Department Curaçao|accessdate=March 21, 2024}} In Cuba, winds and rains generated by the storm left damage and the loss of some lives in the western portion of Pinar del Río Province. St. Marks, Florida, reported a storm tide {{convert|12|ft|m|abbr=on}} and sustained winds up to {{convert|66|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 14.

Observations from Cuba and Jamaica indicated that a storm existed to their northeast on September 24.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 17. Consequently, the track listed in HURDAT begins about {{convert|150|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} northeast of the Dominican Republic. The cyclone moved west-northwestward, crossing through the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas, striking or passing near many islands including Acklins, Crooked Island, and Long Island before turning in a general northward direction east of Andros on September 26. Thereafter, the storm passed near or over islands such as New Providence and Grand Bahama before exiting the Bahamas on the next day. After passing the Bahamas, the cyclone moved parallel to the southeastern coast of the United States and intensified to sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) on September 28,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} based on reports from the ships Magnolia and Gulf Stream and Cape Henry, Virginia. On September 29, the storm was last noted about {{convert|115|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} east-southeast of Buxton, North Carolina.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

The storm produced high seas and gales from Cape Lookout, North Carolina, to Cape Henry, Virginia,{{cite report|author=Hudgins, James E.|year=2000|title=Tropical cyclones affecting North Carolina since 1586-An Historical Perspective|page=14|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|url=https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/6403|accessdate=December 8, 2024}} with the latter observing sustained winds of {{convert|63|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Heavy rains fell in the Wilmington area of North Carolina, flooding many roads and raising many local waterways. Chenoweth's study completely removes the Bahamian portion of the track and instead shows a storm developing near North Carolina on September 27. After approaching the Outer Banks, the storm moves in the semicircle out to sea, passing south of Bermuda during the process, before becoming extratropical on October 1.

While no information exists on this storm prior to October 17, after it already became extratropical, HURDAT features a track beginning on October 13 about {{convert|1075|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} northeast of the Leeward Islands to resemble a path constructed by Neumann.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 18. It headed generally northwestward for a few days and likely did not intensify much beyond sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h), if at all. By October 16, the cyclone turned northeastward and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone later that day about {{convert|285|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. This extratropical storm lasted until October 18.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Chenoweth instead declared this storm a slow-moving extratropical low-pressure area associated with a frontal system.

Heavy rainfall at Galveston, Texas, suggests the existence of a tropical storm over the west-central Gulf of Mexico on October 24.Fernández-Partagás (1995), p. 19. Following an initial motion to the north, the cyclone gradually curved to the east-northeast later that day. Around 21:00 UTC on October 26, the storm made landfall near Cedar Key, Florida, with sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h),{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} based on St. Marks recording sustained winds of {{convert|40|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}. After the cyclone emerged into the Atlantic from the First Coast early the next day,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} further intensification occurred according to observations from the ship Camina, with the cyclone reaching maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h). The cyclone was last noted on October 28 about {{convert|215|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} north of Bermuda.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

This storm produced heavy rainfall across the Gulf of Mexico, including up to {{convert|5|in|mm|abbr=on}} of precipitation in Galveston, Texas. St. Marks, Florida recorded sustained winds of {{convert|40|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}. Chenoweth proposed the removal of this storm from HURDAT, arguing that evidence supported a cold front moving across Florida, followed by the development of an extratropical low offshore the Southeastern United States.

A ship known as the Princess Beatrice may have encountered this storm near the Leeward Islands between November 23 and November 25. However, the track listed in HURDAT does not begin until November 28 about {{convert|40|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} southwest of Exuma in the Bahamas,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} when weather stations along the coast of the Southeastern United States reported decreasing atmospheric pressures. The cyclone moved northeastward for most of its duration, passing through the central Bahamas later that day before reaching the open Atlantic. Slight intensification occurred, with the storm peaking with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) early on November 29, several hours before becoming extratropical approximately {{convert|125|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} south of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia. The extratropical remnants crossed Atlantic Canada before dissipating on the following day.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} The 2014 study by Chenoweth also suggested that this system was extratropical.

{{clear}}

Chenoweth proposed three other storms not currently listed in HURDAT. The first such system formed over the central Atlantic on August 23 to the east of Bermuda and moved northeastward until dissipating on August 30. A second unofficial storm developed on October 2 to the southwest of the Azores. The storm passed through the archipelago, moving closest to São Miguel Island. On October 6, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. Chenoweth's third and final proposed storm formed over the central Atlantic on October 26. Intensifying into a hurricane on the following day, the cyclone became extratropical northwest of the Azores several hours later.

This is a table of all of the known storms that formed in the 1877 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their known duration (within the basin), areas affected, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 1877 USD.
