degenerate into a remnant low early next week.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Blas will continue to affect the
southwest coast of Mexico and the southern portion of the
Baja California peninsula through tonight. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
