Outlook
Up some ---

The MJO is moving from the Active Phase to the Inactive Phase signaling a less favorable environment to support storm formation across the North Pacific in the weeks ahead. But for now, the final push of the Active Phase is occurring as it track over the East Pacific. Storm #2 has developed about as expected in the Northern Gulf on Thurs/Fri (11/6) with 50-55 kt winds  producing 40 ft seas targeting mostly the Pacific Northwest with solid north angled energy pushing down into Central CA.  Even a short bit of limited sideband energy is expected for Hawaii. Expect swell arrival over the weekend at exposed north facing breaks in CA. Beyond a secondary gale is forecast right behind in the Gulf on Sun/Mon producing a small area of 45-50 kt northwest winds and up to 35 ft seas, again targeting primarily the Pacific Northwest with some degree of energy pushing down into Central CA. Down south a weak gale built under New Zealand Wed-Thurs (10/29) with 35 kts winds and 28 ft seas, with limited small southern hemi swell already hitting Hawaii. It will be swamped when it gets to CA by Swell #2 and follow-on swell coming from the Gulf. Another smaller gale occurred in the same area on Monday (11/2) with 28 ft seas.  Maybe Hawaii to see a little from this.
