Another tiny gale developed in the Central South Pacific Sat-Sun (5/12) with 33 ft seas aimed well northeast but not meaningful swell to result. And yet another stronger one developed under New Zealand lifting northeast over the Central South Pacific Sun-Tues (5/14) with seas building to 37 ft. Swell arrival on Sun (5/19). A good swell pattern is underway. And maybe another gale to transit the South Central Pacific Tues-Thurs (5/23) with seas to 34 ft aimed northeast.	---	---
