HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Aletta will affect portions of the coast of west-central mainland Mexico and the west coast of Baja California Sur through the weekend. Swells are expected to build even higher along these areas early next week due to Tropical Storm Bud to the east of Aletta. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
