**6. Conclusions**

Satellite tracking for hurricanes and typhoons has improved the ability of meteorologists to gather and analyze data on changes in atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and other factors that make statistical predictions based on recurrent circulation patterns increasingly accurate on a global basis [24]. Historically, few of the big storms generated in the NE Pacific Ocean actually deviate in direction to enter Mexico's Gulf of California from their point of origin farther south off the western mainland [1]. Those that do are generally found to rapidly deteriorate from hurricane strength to that of lesser tropical storms [21]. In contrast, the recent geologic record from the Holocene expands the time frame for evaluation of storms equilibrated with deposits of eroded shoreline materials and their bearing on coastal geomorphology. The present study on the complex boulder bar associated with Isla San Luis Gonzaga in the upper Gulf of California permits the following conclusions:
