Hurricane Watch We are watching one tropical wave with a large cluster of thunderstorms associated with it. There is some potential that this thunderstorm activity may conglomerate and become better organized over the next day or two. After that, the thunderstorm activity will be in an even less conducive environment for development.

Elsewhere in the eastern Pacific, there are a few tropical waves, but all of them are very disorganized and not expected to develop.

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience. Any surfer who is interested in going beyond the most basic level of surfing will have to develop the ability to interpret waves and environmental conditions. This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.

The main difficulty lies in predicting how exactly the ocean and the environment will behave at any given time. One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple. Conditions can change drastically from day-to-day and even within the space of a couple of hours. To avoid wasted time and unproductive trips to the surf, it is essential to have access to reliable information on surf conditions.
