HURRICANE WATCH September 27th, 2014 – Rachel has become the season’s twelfth hurricane as she spins across the open waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean about 450 miles from Cabo San Lucas. Movement is toward the north-northwest at 8 mph with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

Satellite imagery from Saturday afternoon shows Rachel displaying a rather small but tightly wound circulation with even some semblance of an eye trying to establish itself within the center of the storm. Some additional strengthening is expected through the rest of the weekend, and Rachel should hold onto hurricane status into Sunday due to favorable enough environmental conditions.

Rachel is expected to drift northwestward through Monday, and then take a more west or southwest drift through next week. The storm will encounter somewhat cooler waters as it takes this path, and gradual weakening is expected during the upcoming week. Outside of some uptick in surf and rip currents across the western coast of Baja California, no direct impacts to land are expected from Rachel.

Elsewhere, a cluster of disorganized convection a few hundred miles south of Guatemala is expected to gradually get better organized as it tracks eastward through the upcoming week. While imminent development is not expected over the next 24-48 hours, an acquisition of tropical characteristics is looking likely later in the upcoming week.

By Sunday morning the NW energy will be on the fade. The morning session should see waist to chest high sets with some larger sneaker sets for the exposed West facing beaches.

The wind swell should be in the waist high plus zone.

Looks like a decent tide push through he morning hours so if the winds behave themselves it should be okay!
