The storm was moving west-northwest at 14 mph (22 kph), with its center located about 530 miles (855 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo.
No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect. However, the National Hurricane Center warned that ocean swells are already impacting parts of Mexico's southwestern coast.
These swells could create life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Waves are expected to reach the southern Baja California Peninsula by Sunday night or Monday.
Forecasters anticipate Genevieve will strengthen further before beginning to weaken by midweek.
