Extended Outlook	Up some	---	No meaningful swell is in the water heading north from the Southern Hemi with the Inactive MJO transiting the tropical Pacific. Even with that, a tiny gale lifted northeast from the Central SPac Thurs-Fri (7/31) with seas to 28-30 ft aimed northeast. Swell arrival on Sat (8/8). Another small one is forecast just Southeast of New Zealand Sun-Mon (8/3) with 37 ft seas aimed east. And a broad gale is to develop while tracking NE from under New Zealand Wed-Fri (7/7) with seas 29-31 ft aimed well north with secondary fetch directly behind Sat-Sun (8/9) with 28-29 ft seas aimed northeast. An improving pattern is setting up as the Inactive MJO starts to fade 8/10.	---	---
