SURF:  Swells generated by Linda are expected to affect portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico over the next few days and should
reach the southern and western coast of Baja California Sur on
Friday.  These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
