HURRICANE WATCH Sunday, July 27, 2014 – Tropical Storm Hernan continues to gather strength in the eastern Pacific this morning. Hernan is located south of the southern tip of Baja California tracking parallel to the southern Mexican coastline with 70-mph sustained winds, and is expected to pass to the southwest of Socorro Island during the day today. Hernan will continue to strengthen today and will be close to hurricane strength by tonight. However, the window of opportunity for intensification will close quickly early this week as the storm will move into an environment with higher wind shear and cooler ocean water.

There is another area of disturbed weather located about 1,200 miles to the southwest of the southern tip of Baja California Peninsula. This area of showers and thunderstorms will drift westward over the next few days and may develop into a tropical depression.

For Monday morning the South swell will linger to a lesser degree with inconsistent waist high sets.

Tuesday morning looks weak again with knee high plus surf up and down the coast. *** TS Hernan still hasn’t reached Hurricane status and it appears as if it won’t generate wind speeds beyond 70 MP, (Cat 1 Hurricane). Also, the swell it will be sending our way will move up the line ant a sideways 160-170 degree angle. This basically means only THE MOST EXPOSED South facing breaks will see any sets, and those won’t be much bigger than waist to chest high.
