All eyes on Hurricane Marie tonight - a Category 5 - at present 500 miles south of the tip of Baja. Winds are 120 kt with gusts to 140kt. Marie is generating seas as high as 48ft. Right now the storm is moving to the northwest and should send huge surf to So Cal beaches starting late tomorrow and a very powerful southerly swell for us mid week. We've had swell from TS Lowell and Karina since mid week - and that's been in the 3-4 ft range deep water. Expect the swell from Marie to be larger. Right now look for swell to build late Wednesday and last through the upcoming weekend. Starting out south/southeast 170-180 - then late in the week switching more south/southwest - 180-210. Winds look fairly light most of the week - from the west and northwest - perhaps a touch more northwest wind Wed to Fri. Cya in the water.
