At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the large eye of Hurricane Linda was 
located near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 121.2 West. Linda is 
moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h).  A turn toward the 
west-southwest is expected later today.  A turn back toward the 
west is forecast late Monday, followed by a west-northwestward turn 
on Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Only gradual weakening is forecast during the next few 
days, and Linda is expected to maintain hurricane strength through 
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).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 969 mb (28.62 inches).
 
 
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.
