and a mar de fondo event has been predicted to affect our coast during this weekend.

I don't know where the "mar de fondo" came from. All three of my wave forecasts have no event coming. The waves in Ixtapa are small.

One of my forecasts show a slight wave increase for the 14th-15th.

The warning comes from the Secretaría de la Marina. People I trust.

State health officials for Guerrero confirm 5 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in La Unión, 60 in Acapulco, and 230 in the entire state.

The ocean claimed the life of another tourist today at Playa Blanca even with all the so-called vigilance. A damn shame.

The weather has warmed up noticeably, and a mar de fondo event has been predicted to affect our coast during this weekend. This is usually what happens during Semana Santa. Our visitors were fortunate to be able to enjoy this past week with such perfect weather. Hopefully the ocean won't claim any more lives and folks won't suffer any health issues from the heat. Remember to hydrate!

It's a madhouse out there!! Lots and lots of people! Whoa!

A perfect place to get away from the crowds and enjoy some relaxation, peace and quiet amid some of our region's natural beauty is Casa de los Sueños Tropicales. A beachfront vacation home on the point of Manzanillo Beach in Troncones, a 30-minute drive north of Zihuatanejo. Perfect for two couples or a small family.

The faithful march in prayer in observance of Viernes Santo. Even though I'm an unrepentant heathen atheist, the religious devotion by locals (including my saint of a wife) is actually part of what I love about Zihuatanejo.
