Hurricane John onsite reports
Hurricane John looks like it will affect southern Baja. It is very useful to travelers as well as locals who live on the peninsula to have local eye
witness reports of the storm.
Please post reports mentioning where you are and what weather you are experiencing as well as road reports if arroyos flood.
Please keep this thread on topic about the current storm.
Here in central Baja on the Pacside fishing pangas are being hauled out today in response to the predicted large swell. Today Buoyweather predicts
waves up to 19' which will certainly rearrange our beaches and cause some flood damage to properties close to the shore and low lying areas. Be
prepared....be careful! Good luck everyone.
Bahia Asuncion is calm, partly overcast, 78 degrees, 72% humidity and the swell has begun to increase. Water temp at the beach I estimate is 68
degrees.

The wind/wave predictor I have a lot of faith in is Windfinder. They are predicting a wave height of "only" 11.5ft for Abreojos. When I plug Asuncion
into Windfinder, it gives me a very Windyty-looking interface. I've never seen it do that. Maybe that is its default interface for any region they
dont have their computer models running. I didnt see any wave height predictor, but I am not familiar with the Windyty program.

I have faith in Buoyweather as it is fairly precise for Bahia Asuncion as I look out my window day in day out...it changes frequently but is generally
right for our area. I look at several sites and look out my window....surf-forecast generally underestimates wind & swell for my front yard but I
like to see the wave energy estimates and temperatures all on one page.

Really windy here to day as forecast but I'm not sure John is the culprit. Fore cast for tomorrow much lighter winds. Hope BA is okay and not damaged.
My wind thingy is out but I'm guessing that we've had gusts to 25+ today. Patio furniture and door secured. Still 87º

looks like John will pass offshore so probably just a massive swell on the pacside. It just poured rain here for 10 minutes in a big rain cell but the
sun is out again now.

I find it astounding how we are so different than Asuncion weather-wise when we are only 1.5 hours south of you.
We had sprinkles of rain for such a little bit this afternoon. Barely enough to properly water my plants.
There was no wind and the waves are constant but not huge either. Let's see what tomorrow brings!

thanks for that news, Cappy!
Here (La Aguja) at 7:30 AM we have very light mist. Had real gusty wind yesterday PM around 2:15 or so that lasted about 10 or 15 minutes. Then
nothing between then and now. So if it's raining in Los Cerritos, we expect more rain than just a mist to be here in a bit.

Back in the day (70s) when we would transit the coast both north and south offshore of you and Shari it was mostly a given that there would be a
significant weather break as we got abreast of north Cedros. Now down by Abreojos if headed north you sometimes would pull in south of Razors or the
Coop and rest before heading back into the weather. Makes sense as Punta Eugenia really sticks out there.

In Bahia Asuncion this morning, 78 degrees with 79% humidity which is so rare for here. Clouds are moving in and swell is building...around 7' at the
moment and expected to more than double by tonight....all pangas getting pulled high and dry...laundry in as it looks like we will get some rain.
How are things down below?

Here in this part of the East Cape (~10km south of Los Barriles), things are pretty mellow. Some rain yesterday along with a bit of wind. Calm
today, but a big shower early this morning; seems to be clearing overall. John looks to be weakening (or not strengthening anyway) and headed well
out to sea.

"Big waves" I'm wondering if any of the surfers are getting some good waves out of this storm. What's the sea surface like? Chopped up or smooth?
Visions of corduroy. Storm's probably too close.

No rain here....yet. Perhaps we won't see any rain at all.
Surf is building - biggest surf expected this afternoon. Wind from the east.

It rained pretty good here in Pescadero between 5-7am. No rain since. Lightning flashes over the Mtns during the night! Surf is only 3-5ft,
tightly packed together with very Southerly angle. Glad we got a couple hours of rain! Humidity disappeared with rain, too. Tio

La Bocana - still hot and humid at 2pm. No rain to speak of. Waves seem the same size as this morning but they are coming in nonstop sets.
Yesterday and this morning, the ocean seemed quite reddish, red tide?
