HURRICANE WATCH October 12th, 2014 – An area of disorganized thunderstorms located near the coast of Central America will slowly drift northwestward and remain in close proximity to land over the next day or two. Due to the proximity to land, organized development is unlikely. Regardless of development, heavy rain, flash flooding and mudslides will threaten portions of western Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala over the next several days.
Well to the west, another area of disturbed weather about 1,500 miles to the east-southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii will move into a more favorable environment for development over the next several days. Interests in Hawaii should monitor the progress of this tropical wave over the next week.
Elsewhere across the eastern Pacific Basin, no tropical development is expected over the next 24-48 hours.
______________________________________________________________________________
By Monday morning we’ll see that long interval NW swell peak with chest to head high plus sets at most West facing breaks and larger overhead waves at the top deep water beaches.
We’ll continue to see that small, but long interval energy out of the SW from a liberal 220-225 degrees.
The tides look reasonable enough and with another high pressure system in place the conditions should be pretty good all day.

For Tuesday morning that same swell will remain strong through the morning with chest to shoulder high sets and then very slowly ease up into the afternoon.
We’ll continue to see that small, but long interval energy out of the SW from a liberal 220-225 degrees.
Once again, all the elements look favorable but the sand bars will remain a question mark until we see some more solid swell.

For Thursday morning will be smaller for the AM with knee to waist high surf most everywhere. There will however be some fresh, steeply angled, NW energy rolling in from a 300-305 degree angle. This should fill in throughout the day with healthy 14 second intervals, and should generate chest high plus by late morning.
