Residents and tourists alike were treated to an awe-inspiring natural spectacle on Tuesday morning as massive waves crashed against the Puerto Vallarta Malecón. The dramatic display was a result of Hurricane Willa, which was making its way up the Pacific coast.
Thrill-seekers and curious onlookers flocked to the waterfront to capture photos and videos of the towering waves, which reached heights of over 5 meters. Despite the impressive sight, authorities urged caution, citing the potential for even larger waves as the storm progressed.
While the official forecast indicated that the full force of Hurricane Willa would not directly hit Jalisco, the experiences of past hurricanes like Kenna in 2002 and Patricia in 2015 have made residents more vigilant.
As the morning wore on, the waves continued to grow, prompting local authorities to close off the Malecón to protect the public. Many took preventive measures, boarding up windows and securing their homes, starting on Monday afternoon. The National Meteorological Service has predicted that Hurricane Willa will make landfall later today on the border between Sinaloa and Nayarit.
