SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED on 11-1-18

HURRICANE WATCH

We continue to monitor a couple of areas of low pressure in the East Pacific for potential development over the next few days.

The first is an area of low pressure (designated Invest 93E) around 1,400 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. 93E remains disorganized and is starting to move into an area of higher vertical wind shear. Development of this system is becoming more and more unlikely.

We are also monitoring a large area of disturbed weather located several hundred miles to the southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. This feature, designated as 94E, should become an area of low pressure during the next day or so and environmental conditions should become conducive for gradual development by the upcoming weekend.

In the Central Pacific, there are no organized tropical systems and no development is expected through at least this upcoming weekend.
