The 1930 Pacific hurricane season ran through the summer and fall of 1930. Before the satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes was extremely unreliable. Most east Pacific storms were of no threat to land.

On June 11, it made landfall north of Mazatlán and dissipated inland.

Hurricane Three
On October 3, a tropical cyclone formed near the Revillagigedo Islands. It slowly moved northeasterly, became very intense, and made landfall north of Mazatlán on October 4 or October 5. Once inland, it greatly increased in speed, and dissipated October 7, while over Arkansas. A ship in the eye of the hurricane reported a pressure of 27.72 inHg kPa on, low enough to make this the most intense Pacific hurricane in Mexican waters known at the time.North Pacific Ocean Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 Willis Hurd http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/058/mwr-058-10-0432.pdf October 1930 58 2 79 10.1175/1520-0493(1930)58<79:NPO>2.0.CO;2 1930MWRv...58...79H
