So far we're getting all the good and none of the bad out of Odile: cool, cloudy, calm winds, no rain (just a few sprinkles.) And the waves aren't big yet. There isn't much new to report since yesterday except Odile is now a Cat 1 hurricane (85 mph winds) and its diameter has increased quite a bit. We are actually under its spiral cloud bands now, but it's been very mellow so far. Later tonight into tomorrow I would still expect some gusty breezes and occasional rains and some surf (latest forecast is down to 3.5-4.5 meters today and tomorrow AM.) After tomorrow it will be getting farther from us as it heads up toward Baja.
