HURRICANE WATCH 11-14-13

The East Pacific remains relatively quiet. We are seeing more and more cloud clusters showing up off the southwest coast of Mexico in an area of weak shear and lower-than-normal surface pressure. This might be an area to watch for late-season development. If a feature were to form southwest of Mexico later next week, it would probably end up drifting northeast and move inland over Mexico.

For Friday morning we’ll see some fresh short interval swell, (8-10 seconds), out of the NW from a steep 310 degree angle. This will put the exposed West facing beaches into the waist to possibly chest high plus zone.

A monster high tide of 6.20 feet at 7:12 AM will bring most spots to a crawl but the tide will race out through the day culminating in a minus tide at 2:06 PM.
