Simon still off shore at 7:30 am

Posted by SpencerC User icon on October 11, 2026, 7:42 am

Edit: big waves are pounding the beach this morning, coming through the restaurants and miradors into the street.

Simon is off shore, west-southwest of La Manzanilla and heading north-northwest. Looks like it will stay off shore for another day and the winds and rain coming around the trailing side will continue to hit our area for a while.

Power is out in some areas this morning but not the whole town.

3.25” of rain had been recorded since midnight with a peak gust of 19.5 mph.

Thanks for the update. I have been waiting for a post to know if it passed. Seen several videos and people saying it was over. Was there much damage? 🙏🙏

I edited my message above, videos posted in the last 1/2 hour show waves coming through the restaurants and miradors into the street. There will be some definite damage and a lot of cleanup along the beach.

Thank you from those of far away. We love this town. After it’s over, let us know what we can bring or how we can help. Many of us will begin our travels there in the next few months.

Ditto what Sandy said! It’s very scary looking. According to CBC reports, it will come inland at Cabo Corrientes. Our hopes are with everyone.
