Elsewhere across the eastern Pacific, there is a large cluster of showers and thunderstorms centered about 1,200 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. This area of unsettled weather may gradually develop some tropical characteristics over the next few days.

Friday looks no better with uninspiring knee to waist high surf everywhere.

There is some smallish severely angle South swell moving in from a steep 170 degree angle. Only the most exposed breaks will even get a sniff of this one and even then it won’t amount to much more than waist high plus sets.
