I sure hope Bahia Asuncion and its neighbours don't get smacked hard with this one....lots of work to prepare for damage control. 
Don't believe everything you think....

Paul's up nice n high... More likely for Pinos ( main beach ) erosion, Looks like Hotel Asuncion might be more beach front than they wanna be. Bet
will see some impressive surf.
In time Shari we may be surfing the Hotel Asuncion Reef from the beach front Campo Sirena

For someone whose dream place was destroyed by fire, I am surprised at your post. 
I hope that if the giant surf appears, no one is adversely affected.

I just got home from several hours watching the swell build at various points in town. Late this afternoon, the Jurjos gang and other surfers were at
the "y" surfing and boogie boarding in front of Floriani's store...pangas were still on the beach...pics tomorrow!
Then to Los Pinos where it was pumping. The waves steadily increased over the last few hours. We spent a couple hours at high tide on the 2nd floor
patio of the Beach House for a ringside seat of the swell event. The water has come up to the road beside the house and pooling in the flats still low
down...a looooong way from the Pemex or Paul & Redmesas home. It was fun watching the show get better and better.
Now I am cliffside out at La Bufadora marveling at the smashing surf on the rocks that protect our place. The splash is coming up the cliff on the big
sets. It looks about 12-14' right now and is supposed to get up to 17' in the morning which will be pretty cool. I am now retiring to my tent on the
side of the cliff ...glad I have good earplugs! Hasta manana all...I hope everyone is safe and sound this evening.

wow...just realized the wave forecast chart I'm using is meters,,,not feet! I hope you Ascunsion folks are okay!
...it looks like windwise,,,whatever Cabo's getting now is definitely the most that'll happen,as Marie retracts to the west,,,,but wavewise it seems
the Ascunsion region will get +/- the same again tonight as you did last night---I hope that's bearable(?)
...what's the view like now??
http://passageweather.com/# ....scroll down for wave chart,,,and give the animation feature a try

Marie has been pretty much a non-event here in Buena Vista, a little rain here and there, a little wind. The pool has cooled off to a refreshing
temperature.

I just returned from dawn patrol and photo documenting the storm. The beach has lost alot of sand...behind the old gas station, an old construction is
showing and lots of blocks and wall pieces strewn about. Last night the waves breached the sand bank a few times just in front of the hotel and this
morning it will be worse as the swell has increased...gotta be at least 15-17' right now.
There is water up to the new place built on the beach with the cabins on stilts. Places where I was taking photos yesterday had water over it. Water
came up to the street at the old gas station and up to Verduzco's palapa.
barbareno...the water came up to Mandela the horse's house and it was 2 hours before high tide. There are pangas parked on several streets. Juanitas
restaurant has pangas anchored in front of it!!! The gas station is doing well as everyone is cruising town checking out the phenomenon.
Back to town now for some live high tide action...woo hooo.

Woo hoo??
I guess to watch destruction that is caused by mother nature, and that will cost other people and the town a lot in clean up, is just exciting to some
people.

....some can find big storms to be exhilarating --you should hear some meteorologists--downright -cheering- for the storms!! 
....what are the winds like up and down the west side??

I believe the houses on stilts belong to Arturo from Visciano. Very nice people. Hope the stilts are tall enough!! Hoping for the best for Bahia...
