HURRICANE WATCH November 19, 2014 – A weak area of low pressure several hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico, is being monitored for possible development later this week. However, satellite images show no signs of organization as moderate shear remains over the system due to southwesterly winds aloft in the area.
______________________________________________________________________________

By Thursday morning that swell should be in fine form with shoulder to head high sets at most spots and well overhead sets at the best deep water West facing beaches. This will remain a Westerly 270-280 degrees, (lots of West in it).

A higher than normal tide may actually help out the shape at the beach breaks.

For Saturday morning there will still be some meat left on the bone as that NW energy continues to dish up fun surf in the chest high plus zone for the best West facing breaks. The swell will be strongest in the AM and continue fade through the day.

* High morning tides remain a factor.

For Sunday morning it looks like we should see another pulse of NW energy move in and put the better West facing beaches back into chest high zone for the AM and increase into the overhead zone by sundown.

This new swell will move in from a steeper 300-305 degree angle with 14-16 second intervals and be a bit more choosey about which beaches it visits.

* High morning tides remain a factor.
