APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

HURRICANE WATCH

The tropical Eastern Pacific Basin remains devoid of any organized tropical activity at this time, but the development of two particular tropical waves is becoming increasingly likely within the next 24-36 hours.

A low pressure area currently centered around 1,200 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, continues to look better organized on recent satellite imagery. This low has been designated Invest 91E and is tracking westward through warm ocean waters. If current trends continue, 91E appears increasingly likely to become a tropical depression or tropical storm within the next 24-36 hours. Its track will take it west-northwest over the open waters of the East Pacific, keeping it away from any land. The next name on the East Pacific list is Gilma.

Farther west, there is a disorganized low center around 2,000 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. This low has a narrow 24- to 36-hour window to develop further into a depression or storm.

Stay tuned!

Friday morning we should be able to wrangle one more day of surf out of this one with inconsistent waist to chest high + sets in the AM. The angle will remain 200-210 degrees and intervals will dip down to 15 seconds. Based on what I saw today there will likely be some long lulls in between sets and the Fat Lady will be clearing her throat as we’ll see our last bit of swell for a while.

There’s a nice little tide push through the morning and the conditions look fair.
