No clearly defined swell producing weather systems are forecast fro the next week But, the MJO is starting to pulse in the West Equatorial Pacific now and for the next 3 months possibly pumping energy into the jet the entire time. And the model suggest about 5 days out the jetstream is to start getting energized , presumably being fed by the building Active MJO. Perhaps a late season push is developing starting now. |
