Based on weather reports from the Weather Bureau Office in New Orleans, Louisiana,{{cite report|url= http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/Partagas/1905-1908/1905.pdf|title=Year 1905|author=Jose Fernandez Partagas|author2=Henry F. Diaz|name-list-style=amp|date=1997|work=Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|access-date=April 28, 2014|location=Miami, Florida}} a tropical storm was first observed about 20 miles (30 km) north-northwest of Swan Island on September 24. The storm strengthened slightly before making landfall near Punta Allen, Quintana Roo, around 1200 UTC on September 25. Early on the following day, the system emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and headed north-northwestward. At midday on September 26, it peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). The storm re-curved north-northeastward late on September 28, while approaching the Gulf Coast of the United States. At 1000 UTC the next day, this system made landfall in extreme southwest Vermilion Parish, Louisiana at the same intensity. The storm slowly weakened inland and dissipated over Arkansas on September 30.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

Strong winds and rough seas were reported along the central Gulf Coast of the United States, forcing ships to remain in port. However, rough seas beached many other vessels and washed away some bathhouses and waterfront buildings south of New Orleans. In Gulfport, Mississippi, storm tides inundated the railroad wharves.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/120745335/the-buffalo-enquirer/|title=Gulf Coast Is In Great Peril|date=September 30, 1905|newspaper=The Buffalo Enquirer|page=6|accessdate=March 12, 2023|via=Newspapers.com}} {{free access}}

Late on October 5 and early on October 6, the storm passed through the Windward Passage.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} Eastern Cuba was affected "with some force", but damage was not significant. Entering the Atlantic Ocean,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} the system passed through the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands without causing damage.

This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 1905 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s)–denoted by bold location names – 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 1905 USD.
