Wednesday-Thursday looks like a fun time for south side Bahia de Banderas. I bet some waves I've never heard of at all will be crankingtons.
So many spots light up there that aren't even spots with the right hurricane swell.

Overhead peaky a frames this morning.

Speaking of torrential rain, I was back east last week. 6 inches of rain in 4 hours on Sunday.

I've only seen it rain that hard one other time in my life. Again, Delaware. August of 2012. 11 inches of rain in one night.

Northern Oaxaca and southern Guererro rural areas still haven't recovered from storms/earthquakes last year. :drowning:

Looks like we could be having a mild El Nino this fall/winter.

I know that is supposed to limit Atlantic hurricanes, but what about the East Pacific hurricanes?

I asked that question on the El Niño thread last year but never got an answer.

The sun is finally out here after several cloudy/rainy days.

Forecasters say there's a 50 percent chance El Niño will develop during the late summer or early autumn. If it forms by then, it could help suppress the number of hurricanes that form in the Atlantic during that time.

However, El Niños tend to increase hurricane activity in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which can affect Mexico, the U.S. Southwest and Hawaii.

No, nothing like that.

But we do put up Pride flags to remind people about the ginourmous party this weekend.



On second thought, all those extra people visiting for the parade/celebration is kinda like a flood.

I don't understand your question.
I'm asking where in California the Northern cutoff is for hurricane swell. I mean if it's howling NW winds all June, and they don't face South to the same extent, at some point, it's probably a tiny pulse on a buoy and not much of note on the coast.

Also it appears Sinaloa, Nayarit, Colima, Michoacan, and Guerrero are all State Dept level 4 YOU WILL DIE11!!!!111 zones.

The safest places with Pacific surf according to them are Baja Norte and Oaxaca.

I have no idea. Surfdog? Studog? Any other dogs?

Meh. We have two trained attack dogs. No worries. Also, be good and you're good.

Oaxaca is too close to get good waves from Hurricane swells. Northern Baja was the call for me when I lived in California.

Point Conception probably.
