SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED on September-30-2019
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH: We are watching Tropical Storm Narda which is located near the southwestern coast of Mexico. Due to the close proximity to land we do not expect Narda to strengthen much beyond a minimal tropical storm.

Also, an area of low pressure is expected to form well west of Mexico over the open waters of the East Pacific during the next few days. Gradual development of this system is possible as this feature slowly drifts to the east or northeast, though no impacts to land are expected.

We’ll also see some new swell enter fray from 190-195 degrees with 18 second intervals. This energy will fill in later in the day.
