HURRICANE WATCH:

As of Sunday morning, there were no active tropical cyclones in the East Pacific Basin but we are monitoring an area of low pressure just under 200 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California.

Though there are numerous showers and thunderstorms associated with this low center, satellite imagery Sunday morning continues to show that it is elongated, disorganized and lacks a well-defined low-level center. The system continues to move in a general northward direction at 10-15 mph and may become a tropical depression later today as it moves over fairly warm waters. However, this northward track will eventually take it over cooler waters by Sunday night and Monday so its window of opportunity to become a tropical depression or tropical storm is rather limited.

By Monday that SW energy should put the top South facing beaches into the waist to possibly chest high zone on the sets. Any beach that gets a peek at the South West will get at least a little taste of energy. The swell angle will roll in from a liberal angle of 215-220 degrees with 14-15 second intervals.

Tuesday should still be okay as that SW energy dips down a hair but continues to provide some waist high plus sets in the AM and slowly fade out later in the day.

We’ll also see some small, but potent, 16-18 second interval swell roll in from a 215-220 degree angle later in the day. That should cough up some powerful little waist high plus sets.
