Hurricane Flossie, currently a category 3 storm, is situated approximately 505 kilometers south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas. The hurricane is causing large swells that pose life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the southwestern coast of Mexico and the Baja California peninsula. As a precautionary measure, the Los Cabos Port was closed to smaller vessels on July 1 and will remain so until further notice.
Residents and visitors are advised to avoid entering the ocean or walking on beaches under these hazardous conditions. Warnings from hotel staff and local authorities should be heeded. Areas marked with black flags indicate deadly surf conditions and should be avoided.
Travelers planning to visit Pacific coastal areas in Mexico should stay informed through local media updates and follow instructions from local officials. In emergencies, dialing 911 is recommended. The National Hurricane Center and the Mexican National Meteorological Service (Servicio Meteorológico Nacional) provide ongoing updates on storm activity.
