odile
HURRICANE WATCH September 13th, 2014 – While there are two organized systems to watch in the East Pacific, the only system of consequence remains Hurricane Odile.

Hurricane Odile continues to parallel the southwestern coast of Mexico, some 200 miles offshore. The system is gradually gaining strength and significant impacts are expected to be minimal as the center of circulation should remain a couple hundred miles away from land.
Wind gusts to near 40 mph will be possible along the coast from Colima to Nayarit, including the state of Jalisco. Sustained tropical-storm force winds should remain offshore.

As Odile moves steadily northwestward it will pass close to the coast of Baja California late Sunday through early next week. Similar conditions are expected for the southern Baja based on the current track forecast… but if Odile tracks closer to the coast then wind gusts of 60 mph cannot be ruled out.

Sunday morning looks small again with knee to waist high surf up and down the coast. The good news is that some LONG interval SW energy will creep into town late in the day from a 215-220 degree angle. We wont’t see much until very late in the day but should be in play for Monday morning.

Looks like another heat wave will start up and cook Southern California alive!

Tuesday morning should have some fun sets out of the SW as that long period swell from an angle of 215-220 degrees peaks in the morning. This should put the better South facing beaches in the chest high plus zone.

Looks like Odile energy should work it’s way into the mix as well with potential for a little size at the super exposed South facing beaches. I’ll have a good look at all the models tomorrow so I can have a more comprehensive forecast. Stay tuned!
