HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Kevin are affecting portions of the coast 
of southwestern Mexico, and are expected to spread northward to the 
coast of Baja California Sur today and Tuesday.  These swells are 
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  
Please consult products from your local weather office.
