At 1100 PM HST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Fausto was
located near latitude 17.8 North, longitude 124.0 West. Fausto is
moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). A continued
west-northwestward to westward motion, along with an increase in
forward speed, is expected over the next several days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Some fluctuations in intensity could occur over the next day 
or so but Fausto is forecast to gradually weaken thereafter.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles
(295 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches).
 
 
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.
