A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Tropical Storm Simon to Curve Back Into Mexico Kristina Pydynowski By Kristina Pydynowski, Senior Meteorologist October 3, 2014; 9:10 AM ET

Tropical Storm Simon to Curve Back Into Mexico

Play videoAn overview of the tropics is given in the above AccuWeather.com video.
While Simon is currently churning away from Mexico, the tropical storm should eventually turn and target Mexico's Baja California.
Tropical Storm Simon took shape early Thursday morning about 135 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.
While Simon is currently tracking to the west-northwest away from mainland Mexico, residents should not let their guard down. That includes those living or planning to visit Baja California next week.
Downpours associated with Simon will continue to stream onto southwestern mainland Mexico through Friday, soaking the states of western Guerrero, western Michoacan, Colima, western Jalisco and Nayarit. At the same time, rough surf will create hazards for beachgoers and operators of small craft.
The tropical downpours have the potential to unleash 1 to 3 inches of rain, which may cause flash flooding and mudslides.
On Friday, surf will build at the beaches of Cabo San Lucas as a shower or thunderstorm returns in the afternoon.
"The shower and thunderstorm activity will increase around Cabo San Lucas Friday night through Saturday with locally heavy rain a threat," stated AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Rob Miller.
Also through Saturday, Simon will continue to strengthen and reach hurricane status. The good news is that the heaviest rain and strongest winds will remain offshore during this time.
Simon should begin to weaken as the weekend comes to a close, but that is also when the storm will begin curving back to the northeast and toward Baja California.
Simon should reach the central Baja California during the first part of next week, but Miller anticipates its heavy rain to arrive much sooner.
"Early next week, more widespread heavy rain will spread across the central and southern Baja California and into the mainland Mexican states of Sonora and Sinaloa."
As the heavy rain returns, so will the dangers of flooding and mudslides.
Rough surf will also continue to pound the coast of Baja California and nearby southwestern Mexico early next week as Simon approaches, then moves onshore. Since Simon will be weakening, the threat for any damaging winds will lie in the vicinity of Simon's landfall.
"Wind damage will depend on how much strength Simon has at the time of landfall," continued Miller. "Based on the current forecast track, I would expect Simon to produce localized tree limb damage and power outages."
Once over mainland Mexico, the center of Simon will fall apart, but AccuWeather.com meteorologists will be monitoring the potential for its moisture and downpours to spread northward into the United States' Four Corners region and Texas.

Tropical Storm Simon Expected to Become Hurricane MIAMI — Oct 3, 2014, 5:38 AM ET

Tropical Storm Simon Expected to Become Hurricane

Tropical Storm Simon is expected to become a hurricane as it swirls in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico.
The storm's maximum sustained winds early Friday are near 50 mph (85 kph). Additional strengthening is forecast and the U.S. National Hurricane Center says Simon could become a hurricane by Saturday morning.
Simon is centered about 325 miles (520 kilometers) south-southeast of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and is moving west near 7 mph (11 kph).
Simon is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches through Friday night in western Mexico and is also generating swells on the coast that could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Tropical Storm Simon Strengthening; Could Become a Hurricane Off Mexico's Pacific Coast

Published: Oct 3, 2014, 8:45 AM EDT weather.com

Who's At Risk For Hurricanes?

Tropical Storm Simon became the eighteenth named storm of the 2014 eastern Pacific hurricane season off the coast of Mexico early Thursday.
Simon is embedded in an environment of relatively low wind shear (changing wind direction and/or speed with height typically hostile to developing or mature tropical cyclones), moist air, and warm sea-surface temperatures which should support strengthening for the next few days. Simon may become a hurricane in the next day or so.
Simon is expected to track toward the west-northwest over the next several days, with its center likely to remain offshore of the Mexican Pacific coast. 
That said, outer rainbands on the periphery of Simon's circulation will continue to wring out locally heavy rain through Friday, which could trigger flash flooding and mudslides across western Jalisco, western Sinaloa, Nayarit in western Mexico. In addition, high surf and dangerous rip currents will also threaten coastal areas.
At this time, it appears this system is not a major threat to the storm-weary Baja Peninsula. Any possible north to northeast curve in track early next week will take Simon over cooler water and into an environment of increasing wind shear and more stable air, inducing weakening.
However, those in the area, including Los Cabos, may see locally heavy bands of rain the next several days on the outer periphery of Simon, which may trigger local flash flooding.
Here are the latest status and forecast maps on the system.

One of my favorite places in Mexico: Zipolite

One of my favorite places in Mexico: Zipolite


One of my favorite places in Mexico was the Pacific coast. Perhaps it was even my favorite place. And for sure it was my favorite beach place in Mexico. Perhaps it does not have white sandy beaches and an extreme clear blue ocean like the Caribbean coast has, but it also doesn’t have sky-rocking prices and heaps of tourist either. It’s the perfect get-away for a backpacker looking for adventure. It has beautiful beaches, waves and an extreme chill-out atmosphere.
After taking a long bus drive through the hills, you arrive at the coast. But better yet, take a collectivo from there to one of the smaller beaches like Zipolite or  Mazunte. These are the real treasures of the Pacific coast in Mexico. They usually have one street where you can find restaurants and hotels, looking out on the beach. Every hostel has a hammock and most of them have a bar on the beach. It’s dirt cheap and I had some of the best times of my life here. Life is easy here. Swim, have a drink,read, sit in your hammock, have a drink, have a burrito, watch the sunset, sleep on the beach, watch the sunrise, stay longer than you anticipated. These towns, if you can even call them that, are the perfect chill-out and forget about life places. These are the places where you live in the now and just enjoy the day. Maybe not your picture-perfect place but perhaps even better because the place is real. This is the place where people come to for two days and never leave again. This is true paradise, because paradise, for me, is not defined by blue water and white beaches. Paradise, in my opinion,  is defined by the atmosphere that a place can create. And this places breathes happiness in it’s purest and most simple form. This dirt road where chickens run loose, these baches where the waves crash on the sand, this is the real Mexico to me, how I always imagined it would be. I would go back here anytime.
