HURRICANE WATCH: A new tropical depression has formed Monday afternoon, well south of southern Mexico. Tropical Depression 22 is moving to the west at 18 mph with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. It is about 465 miles south-southwest of Acacpulco, Mexico. Further strengthening is expected over the next couple of days as 22 moves over warm water. Wind analysis shows that gap winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec is helping to strengthen the circulation of this depression.

It will eventually become a tropical storm, perhaps as soon as Tuesday morning. It will acquire the name Sandra. This is when it will begin to track more towards the northwest and eventually make a turn to the north, while likely reaching hurricane status by the middle of the week.

This one is poised to actually deliver a little swell so stay tuned!

For Tuesday morning there won’t be much of a change for the morning but we should start seeing a little more NW wind swell energy start to filter in late in the day, (along with gusty onshore breezes).

* An early high tide will bury the small surf for the dawn patrol again.

For Wednesday morning we will see all day onshore winds and sloppy wind swell walking hand in hand with breezy culprit. Probably worth a look if you like to bust airs in wind slop, but as Austin Powers would say, “That’s not my bag baby!”
