APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

HURRICANE WATCH

Carlotta is just hanging on as a tropical depression, located about 60 miles to the west of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, as it continues to interact with land and slowly lose strength. Carlotta is expected to dissipate as it hugs the Mexican coastline later today or tonight.

Elsewhere across the Eastern Pacific, no tropical activity is expected over at least the next 24-48 hours = No surf for SO Cal!

For Tuesday the SW swell will hang around with waist to maybe chest high sets from a 200-205 degree angle.

Some slightly more potent NW swell will fill in too. Looks to be at least waist high + from a Westerly angle of 285-290 degrees and 12-14 second intervals.

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience.
