Outlook
Up some --- A gale developed over the Central Gulf Tues-Wed (11/5) with 24-26 ft seas aimed east. Swell fading Sun (11/9). Another is to build over the Central Gulf Sat-Sun (11/9) with 25-28 ft seas aimed south and southeast. Another system was building off the Kurils Fri-Sat (11/8) tracking to the dateline with up to 34 ft seas then moving to the Dateline Mon (11/10) with seas 25-26 ft aimed east. Another gale is to develop off the Kurils Tues-Wed (11/12) with 25-26 ft seas aimed east. And perhaps another to develop over the NE Gulf Fri-Sat (11/15) with 33 ft seas falling southeast. Small swell to persist while we wait for a possible significant change in the MJO/ENSO pattern over the West Equatorial Pacific.
