Outlook
Up slightly ---

The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) is moving into the Inactive state and expected to continue there through early next month. No direct support for gale development expected from it but El Nino will continue to favor gale and storm formation for a few more months (including in the Southern Hemi).  Another gale developed in the Gulf Sat/Sun (3/14) with up to 32 ft seas and positioned a little further south/better in the CA swell window. Possible swell for Tues (3/16). And remnants of that gael are to reorganize just off the NCAl coast Tues (3/16) generating 50 kt winds and near 30 ft seas fore a brief window possibly setting up swell for Wed, Then thing to really settle down. Down south a weak/small gale formed southeast of Tahiti Thurs (3/11) with barely 30 ft seas.  Small swell likely is radiating north.  A stronger storm was building just southeast of New Zealand Sat/Sun (3/14) with 50 kt wind and up to 46 ft seas. Possible real southern hemi swell for Tahiti, Hawaii and California a little over a week out.
