Hurricane Watch Jova has weakened to a tropical depression as it continues to track westward away from the Mexican mainland and Socorro Island. At this point, the only impacts to land from Jova will be rough surf and an elevated threat for rip currents along the western coastline of Mexico and the southern portion of Baja California through Monday.

Jova should maintain its status over the next 12-24 hours as a depression before its path will take it over cooler ocean waters later tomorrow. By tomorrow night or Monday, Jova will dissipate into a remnant low pressure area.

Also, there is a cluster of disorganized showers and thunderstorms a few hundred miles to the south of Acapulco, Mexico. This system will track off to the west-northwest at 10-15 mph the next several days, generally away from the Mexican coast. Since this disturbance is located in a zone of warm waters and low shear, a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to develop by the middle of next week as this disturbance becomes better organized.

Finally, low pressure may form to the southwest of Jova over the open waters of the East Pacific early next week. This low could gradually develop into a tropical cyclone later next week, although its proximity to Jova may hinder its ability to do so.

Monday morning, I’m sorry to say looks like another stinker with weak NW wind swell in the knee high + zone and down the coast! We will start to see some steep South swell show up but nothing impactful until later in the day and even then the angle will be a sideways 170-180 degrees, (missing all but the most exposed beaches).

For Tuesday morning should be a bit better but only for the extreme South facing breaks as some fresh ground swell rolls in from a 170-180 degree angle with 16 second intervals. The top spots should see chest to shoulder high sets with larger head high + waves on occasion. Most of the swell will extend its middle finger at the coast and skirt on past but breaks in the OC and San O’ areas should be fun.
