Hurricane Watch Topical Storm Lidia is currently centered around 45 miles to the south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Lidia is in an environment that is favorable for some strengthening in the next 24 hours before making landfall on the southern tip of Baja California Friday morning. There is some possibility Lidia will become a weak Category 1 hurricane before making landfall.
Wind gusts of 60-70 mph may occur across parts of Baja California Sur along with a general 4-8 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts possible. Flooding rainfall, power outages and mudslides will be the main threats with this system as it interacts with coastal and mountainous terrain. Since the system is now projected to track over Baja California, it will start to weaken during Friday, Friday night and over the weekend. The system should weaken to a tropical depression on Sunday and then degenerate into the non-tropical low pressure area early next week.

For Friday morning that steep South swell will head toward its death bed with meager, inconsistent, waist high sets for the exposed breaks.

For Sunday morning there’s a dull glimmer of hope as a fresh SW swell rolls into town from a 205-210 degree angle with 14-16 second intervals. This should produce waist to chest high sets for the top South facing beaches. This energy will have a bit more West in it so it will sprinkle love to the less exposed beaches a bit more liberally than the last few rounds of swell.
