HURRICANE WATCH 11-3-13

As of early this morning, T.D. E-18 has strengthened into Tropical Storm Sonia. The storm underwent an impressive strengthening phase overnight, evidenced by an expansive cluster of thunderstorms on the northwestern side of the storm.

Further intensification is likely over the next few hours as the storm begins to take a turn to the east, toward the Mexican mainland. Sonia’s rain bands will begin to impact the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula and western portions of Mexico beginning this afternoon.

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. The ground swell will remain in the mix and the most exposed West facing breaks will be in the chest to head high range with a few larger sets on the medium to lower tides.

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 to chest high 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.

Once again a monster high tide of 6.36 feet at 10:15AM will cripple most spots mid morning but there will be a nice tidal push for the dawn patrollers.
