HURRICANE WATCH October 2nd, 2014 – While Simon is currently churning away from Mexico, the tropical storm should eventually turn and target Mexico’s Baja California.Tropical Storm Simon took shape early Thursday morning about 135 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.

While Simon is currently tracking to the west-northwest away from mainland Mexico, residents should not let their guard down. That includes those living or planning to visit Baja California next week. Downpours associated with Simon will continue to stream onto southwestern mainland Mexico through Friday, soaking the states of western Guerrero, western Michoacan, Colima, western Jalisco and Nayarit. At the same time, rough surf will create hazards for beachgoers and operators of small craft.

Through Saturday, Simon will continue to strengthen and reach hurricane status. The good news is that the heaviest rain and strongest winds will remain offshore during this time.

Simon should begin to weaken as the weekend comes to a close, but that is also when the storm will begin curving back to the northeast and toward Baja California.

Once over mainland Mexico, the center of Simon will fall apart.

For Sunday morning we’ll see another day of fun, SW energy in the chest to shoulder high range.

We’ll also yet another burst of SW energy start to move in through the day. Long intervals and a user friendly angle of 200-205 degrees.

The most exposed South facing beaches will get a whiff of Hurricane Simon swell too. This will be coming up the line at a severe, 165+ degree angle and only get into select beaches.

Looks like a nice run of energy and all the variables, on paper, look excellent!
