Outlook |

--- |
No clearly defined swell producing weather systems are forecast for the next week. High pressure and locally generated northwest winds to producing local windswell. 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 to developing starting a week out. |
