Hurricane Norman Weakens to Cat 3, Modest Swell Reaches SoCal
Norman has weakened a notch through the day, dropping to 110kts, losing some of its visually impressive structure along the way. The cyclone is now asymmetrical with a closed eyewall as shear impacts the northeastern part of the storm. A gradual but steady decrease in intensity is forecast through the period. Norman poses no threat to land at this time, tracking westward away from the mainland. Remember that Norman is a small cyclone, well over a 1000 miles from SoCal and moving in the wrong direction -- all strikes against swell reaching back into SoCal.
Latest visible satellite image of the Eastern Pacific shows Hurricane Norman in the center, Hurricane Miriam off to the west, and a low pressure system to the east of Norman that is forecast to become Olivia next week.
Latest Storm Info
Norman is now a top-end Cat 3 Hurricane with 110kt sustained winds in Friday's 2pm PDT advisory. Norman is over 750nm west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, heading west-southwest at seven knots and is no threat to land at this time. Norman continues a gradual weakening trend as shear impacts the cyclone and it moves over cooler surface waters.
Norman is expected to remain a hurricane through the official five-day forecast period, potentially losing that status around the end of the forecast period. Expected track continues to the west-southwest before turning back west-northwest over the weekend.

The Volks Gallery is in Malibu, CA to meet up with Sean Colburn and his Gypsy camper bus. He is known as @MalibuVWbus on IG. Sean is a surfer and well known VW photographer in Southern California. His Bus sat in a Barn for 30 years before he rescued it from Oregon. It is 1 of 3 Gypsy camper buses known to exist..
The SurfAid Cup returns to Malibu this year on September 8th with former Baywatch star and Malibu local David Chokachi as SurfAid Ambassador.
SurfAid is a tag-team surf competition open to long or short boarders who raise funds in order to compete. Each team is made up of four amateurs and one pro. The team that raises the most money gets the first pick from an impressive line-up of pros and local legends.
The event has been supported by some of surfing’s most iconic and recognizable legends including Tom Carroll, Shane Dorian, Mark “Occy” Occhilupo, Layne Beachley, Rob Machado, Owen Wright, Simon Anderson, Sally Fitzgibbons, Luke Egan, Laura Enever, Lisa Andersen, Joel Tudor, Strider Wasilewski, Nat Young and Taj Burrow.
It's looking slower this week for surf on the West Coast and in Hawaii, so you'll need to be on it to find fun surf over the next few days. The tropics are still fired up but they won't come to the rescue during the week but the extended range could be a different story. There is some Southern Hemi energy in the water and the North Pacific offers more pre-season swell.
They might not do much for swell during the week but the tropics are still very much in play. Here we see Miriam (bottom center) and the likely-to-become Norman to the east, off Mexico, with potential for more development behind these storms.
