Outlook
Down ---

The North Pacific jetstream has all but shut down offering only limited generic support for low pressure development at the oceans surface. No surface lows of interest were occurring. Swell from a previous low in the Gulf of Alaska Sun-Mon (4/27) that generated 35 kt winds and 21 ft seas aimed at the Pacific Northwest down into Central CA is arriving Tuesday afternoon (4/29) expected to hold into Wed and Thurs (5/1). Down south a solid gale built just east of New Zealand Tues-Thurs (4/24) producing confirmed 45 kt winds and 32-36 ft seas. Significant class summer time swell is pushing north towards Hawaii with intermediate class energy expected into California starting Thurs (5/1) on through the weekend. No other systems in-play or forecast in the South Pacific with a large ridge in control of the upper atmosphere.
