the southern and central portions of the Baja California peninsula.
These swells are expected to spread northward into southern
California during the next couple of days and are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

RAINFALL:  Outer rainbands from Linda will affect portions of the
southern Baja California peninsula through this morning.
