Meanwhile, in the Eastern Pacific


It looks like Tropical Storm Genevieve is crawling up the coast and could be passing close to Baja.

Wonder how the East Cape, Costa Azul, Cerritos, Pedrito, Abreojos, and Scorpian Bay surf is sizing up. Couple more days I guess.

In its 8 a.m. ET update, the NHC said that Genevieve "rapidly intensified" to a Category 4 hurricane less than 24 hours after reaching hurricane-strength.

Hope BCS gets some great waves and a good rain soaking with minimal damage/problems.

Usually, these things have a more right-turning trajectory. We will see if this projection is accurate. I’m in Cabo.

Moving NNW at 10mph

Winds: 115 mph
Gusts: 140 mph
Pressure: 28.35

Hurricane Watch Issued For Parts of Baja California.
Genevieve will track west of Baja California Wednesday afternoon through Thursday.This track could spread bands of rain and tropical storm-force winds into the southern Baja.
Genevieve has since weakened some but remains a major hurricane.

The forecast track for Genevieve has shifted a bit farther east and takes the center of the hurricane just west of the southern tip of Baja California, including Los Cabos, later Wednesday through Thursday. This track could spread at least some bands of rain and gusty winds into the southern Baja during that time.

Doesn't look any better on Windy either; https://www.windy.com/?22.804,-104.976,6

Here's hoping for the best for those in it's path!

Edit; This is not the forecast, it is what they show now!

Hi there BigBearRider. You're likely in for some heavy weather this week. Thanks in advance for any updates you can report of conditions on the ground in Cabo area. We're never there during peak summer months but always a little concerned when hurricanes scoot by. Stay safe and keep us posted if you can.

La Bocana is getting calls from surfers who are coming to ride the waves!

Today, so many clouds, about 5 min of sprinkles (can we even classify that as rain????) and yesterday an incredible lightning show south of us and then north. Just a little bit of thunder, rumbling from afar.

I sure hope Genevieve does not show up here!






Come visit La Bocana

It wasn’t that bad most of the day. It looked like people stayed home in the afternoon. Windy and rainy most of the day, increasing in intensity the last couple of hours. Now, it blows pretty good.

Freaky Friday with the SE storm wind blowing sand & spray about 30-35 knots with higher gusts I'd guess here in sunny Asuncion. The bay side is an angry mess and we are approaching high tide...time for a storm cruise to the Hawaii side.
This is the worst of it most likely.
Wouldnt ya know I have the fish all ready on the trays for the smoker...uh not gonna happen right now! Hope it calms down a bit after the tide change.
