Hurricane Genevieve has intensified to Category 4 strength and is bringing dangerous conditions to Baja California Sur this week, even from more than 800 kilometers offshore. Although the storm’s center is not directly threatening the peninsula, its outer bands are driving high waves, strong swells, and isolated rain across the state. What Coastal Residents Should Expect This WeekThe main effects will arrive as dangerous ocean conditions. Increased wave height, strong swells, and powerful rip currents are expected to make coastal waters hazardous through the week. However, ocean conditions are expected to remain rough for several more days as the storm’s swells continue to radiate outward.
