At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the large eye of Hurricane Linda was 
located near latitude 19.0 North, longitude 120.2 West. Linda is 
moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h).  A west or 
west-southwest motion is expected through Monday night, followed 
by a turn toward the west-northwest on Tuesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Linda is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Gradual weakening is forecast during the 
next several days, and Linda is expected to maintain hurricane 
status through Tuesday night or Wednesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Linda are expected to gradually subside 
along the western coast of Baja California Sur during the next 
day or two.  However, additional longer-period swells not associated 
with Linda are expected to reach the coasts of southwestern Mexico 
and the west coast of the Baja California peninsula beginning 
tonight into Tuesday, and these swells are likely to continue 
causing life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please 
consult products from your local weather office.
