A gale developed in the Gulf on Fri-Sat (12/8) falling southeast with up to 35 ft seas aimed southeast. Swell arrived on Mon (12/10). Another storm developed off Kamchatka Sat-Sun (12/9) pushing east with 44 ft seas, fading before reaching the dateline, then was rebuilding in the Gulf on Mon-Tues (12/11) with 32 ft seas aimed east. Another to follow right behind in the Northeastern Gulf Wed (12/12) with 46 ft seas aimed east. A local gael is to develop off Cape Mendocino Thurs-Fri (12/14) with up to 37 ft seas aimed east. And possibly a stronger one to track over the dateline and into the Gulf Thurs-Fri (12/14) then build in the Gulf Sat (12/15) with 55 ft seas aimed east. And yet another is to be behind that. A pretty active storm track is forecast for the moment, but the MJO is to be turning Inactive. |
