From tomorrow morning at around 10:00 am until May 5 in the evening. Warning for beaches and fishing boats. SINAPROC recommends especially staying away from the beaches from Friday until Sunday. Says these waves will likely be the highest of 2015.

A surfer I know says this is the biggest surf in four years and so annoyed he will be in the States this week! Another friend says he will surf Coronado, because it will be the least dangerous area.

One woman died in Gorgona because of the extreme waves.

A school in Santa Clara was badly damaged. There are videos on La Prensa showing large beach homes in Santa Clara being badly flooded as the waves race up past the beaches.

Sinaproc forecasts the highest waves for today.

Acapulco MX is experiencing extreme waves now too so this is not just a small event.

The first Sinaproc alert showed a massive weather system between New Zealand and South America which implied the waves are a result of that system.

Apparently we are experiencing a Mar de fondo . Wikipedia: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar_de_fondo

In English a sea swell

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swell_(ocean)

This one was generated by high winds in the South Pacific between New Zealand and South America.

NOAA says the waves will be twice the normal height. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAOFFNT3.shtml
