Hurricane Watch Irwin has continued to weaken this morning and now contains maximum-sustained winds of 35 mph, making it a tropical depression. Irwin is located over 1,200 miles to the west of the southern tip of Baja California. Irwin will continue to weaken through Tuesday as it moves across cooler ocean waters and will likely lose tropical characteristics by the end of the day today. Irwin is not forecast to have any impact on land.

Meanwhile, a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms currently located south of El Salvador and Guatemala may gradually become better organized over the next several days. This disturbance is located in an area of warm waters and low wind shear, which is conducive for further tropical development. Thus, a tropical depression or tropical storm could form in this area well south of Mexico later this week. The disturbance should stay offshore as it tracks off to the west-northwest at 10-15 mph over the next several days.

By Wednesday morning everything will continue to back down but there will still be some meat left on that bone as the better South facing breaks will be in the head high range and continue to dip in size and consistency through the day.

Thursday morning is shaping up to be decent for the legitimate South facing breaks with steeply angled surf from a 165+ degree angle. This energy will be comprised of Hurricane HILARY and potentially TS/Hurricane Irwin and another steep pulse from down South. All the models have downgraded the outcome to chest high surf at the receptive South facing breaks. Should be okay but things will likely start off slow in the AM and you may have to scoot around to find the juice!

We’ll also see some weak NW wind swell and steep South enter the fold as well.
