Secondary fetch from it redeveloped in the North Gulf Sat (1/11) with 43 ft seas aimed east. Sideband swell likely on Mon (1/13) too. One more tracked from west of the dateline Fri (1/10) with 32 ft seas lifting up into the Northwest Gulf Sun (1/12) with 32 ft seas aimed east. Swell arrival on Wed (1/15). And another gale is forecast developing off Japan Mon (1/13) tracking over the dateline Wed-Thurs (1/16) with 41-44 ft seas aimed east then fading. Things to settle down after that.
