I just heard that Mazatlan was flooded by this monster swell...also the ferries are having problems so there will be another fuel shortage in baja sur
as the tankers will be held up...we are all filling up now before the shortage occurs....swell still strong here and the kids are so excited to surf
right in the village and as they are out of school, they don't have to fake stomach aches to skip classes to surf!

Big storms deep in the Southern Hemisphere and hurricanes off the coast of Mexico send us the south swells this time of year. Check out this tool from
Surfline.....it has all of last years info but it is still really interesting. Click on the Pacific Hurricane Watch text to see:

Heard Huntington Beach was a mess also....too walled....extreme sideshore currents....and too consistent to paddle out even if you wanted to.....
