Extended Outlook	Up maybe	---	No clearly defined swell producing weather systems are forecast. But, the MJO is starting to pulse now and for the next 3 months possibly pumping energy into the jet the entire time. And the model suggest about a week out the jetstream picture is to start improving. Perhaps a late season push is coming.	---	---
