HURRICANE WATCH 11-1-13

As of Friday evening, Tropical Depression EIGHTEEN-E remains about 300 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The depression has sustained winds of 35 mph with higher gusts.

This system is over warm waters and an area with relatively low wind shear; therefore, there is a good chance that this depression will become Tropical Storm Sonia in the next 12-24 hours.

Saturday morning we will see some new, NW energy, from a 295-305 degree angle, in the waist to chest high range.

Once again a monster high tide of 6.24 feet at 8:41AM will cripple most spots so expect some mushburgers for breakfast.

On Monday morning the NW wind swell will be the dominant energy, with the top West facing breaks seeing 8-10 second interval swell from a steep 310 degree angle.

There’s a whopping 6.63 high tide at 8:50 AM so all bets are off for the mid morning session. It will drop dramatically through the day, culminating in a -0.79 low tide just before 4:00PM.

Tuesday morning should have a little 8-10 second, NW wind swell left, but that will wallow in the waist high plus range and also be influenced by a huge high tide at 9:30AM. The good news is that the time change will allow for the dawn patrollers to squeeze in a few rides before everything goes to sh#t.

It looks like we’ll also start to see some small but potent, 18-20 second ground swell start to show late in the day. This will be from a steep angle of 300-305 degrees so it will likely bypass all but the most exposed West facing breaks on Wednesday.
