Outlook
Up some maybe --- A small gale developed north of Hawaii Sat-Sun (3/29) with 18-20 ft seas aimed south targeting only the Islands. Perhaps a gale is to develop off Oregon Tues-Wed (4/1) with 19 ft seas aimed southeast at CA. Down south a gale is forecast developing under New Zealand easing east Mon-Wed (4/1) with up to 33 ft seas aimed well northeast. And a major change is now occurring over the equatorial West Pacific with strong westerly anomalies in-place and forecast building over the next 3 months. This is the signal that El Nino is developing.
