SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 7-3-13
______________________________________________________________________________
HURRICANE WATCH
The storm late Tuesday had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph). The storm is centered about 325 miles (523 kilometers) west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. It was drifting to the west near 2 mph (3 kph).
The government of Mexico has issued no storm warnings or watches for the coast. Little change in strength is expected over the next 48 hours.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said swells generated by Dalila are affecting portions of the southwest coast of Mexico.
It’s heading toward colder water so it’ll be a wait and see scenario for now.
______________________________________________________________________________
For Thursday morning (the 4TH of JULY), will see no real improvement as all spots remain in the knee to waist high zone.

Saturday morning looks a little better as some fresh, SW energy, from a 195 degree angle fills in throughout the day. The top South facing breaks should go chest high on the sets by days end.
That steep NW wind swell should also remain in the mix with waist high plus peaks for the better West facing beaches.
