A few hurricanes hit Mexico's West Coast and every few years a storm will brush Hawaii. Since winds over the tropics around the globe blow generally from east to west, storms that form over the warm Pacific off the Central American and Mexican coasts are generally pushed toward the west.
Some storms do turn toward the north to hit the Mexican Coast.
Cold ocean water off the California Coast weakens storms that make it that far north. Even though the storms die before reaching the USA, the remnants can bring heavy rain to California, the Southwest and sometimes to places as far east as Oklahoma. Most hurricanes die before they get as far west as Hawaii, but some do make it. The water around Hawaii is cooler than farther south and the storms weaken, however. The University of Hawaii tropical weather Web Site is a good place to go for information about hurricanes, and typhoons, outside the Atlantic.
