Linda is moving toward the west-southwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn back toward the west is forecast this evening, followed by a west-northwestward turn by Tuesday evening.

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.
