SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED on September-6-2019
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH: As of early Friday morning, EDT, Hurricane Juliette is a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 85 mph located well west of the southern tip of Baja California. Juliette will continue on a west-northwestward track through the day Friday before turning more westerly this weekend. The hurricane continues to track over sufficient warm water to maintain intensity. Eventually Juliette will start to move over cooler water and encounter increased wind shear. These more hostile conditions will cause Juliette to weaken to a tropical storm on Friday, a depression on Saturday, then degenerate into a non-tropical low pressure area on Sunday. Juliette will not directly impact any land masses through its lifetime. However, large swells will impact coastal areas of Southern California through the Baja Peninsula through the next few days.

In the Central Pacific, Tropical Storm Akoni is slowly strengthening as it moves westward, well south of Hilo, Hawaii. Environmental conditions will remain slightly favorable for further strengthening, and Akoni will slowly strengthen as it moves off to the west the next several days. Long-range computer forecasts continue to suggest that Tropical Storm Akoni will track south of the Hawaiian Islands this weekend and early next week. Increased surf and swells are likely on southern and western portions of Hawaii into early next week.

For Saturday morning the energy for Juliette will linger with waist to chest high + sets in the AM for the most receptive South facing beaches. The swell angle will continue from that 170-180 degrees with 11-12 second intervals.

Finally some GOOD news… a series of fairly solid SW swells will start to show on Sunday and continue to deliver surf into the foreseeable future. The first pulses will roll in from a fairly liberal angle of 210-215 degrees with meaty 18-19 second intervals and dish up chest high + sets for the better South facing breaks as it fills in.
