HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Fausto are affecting portions of the west
coast of the Baja California Peninsula and are spreading northward
toward the coast of southern California. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
