It is located about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, moving northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).

Although no coastal watches or warnings are in effect, ocean swells from Genevieve are creating life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along Mexico's southwestern coastline and the Baja California peninsula.

The storm is expected to fluctuate in strength before weakening later this week.
