Extended Outlook	Up some	---	The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) is moving into the Inactive state and expected to continue there through the end of the month. No support for gale development expected from it but El Nino will continue to favor gale and storm formation for a few more months (including in the Southern Hemi). A gale tracked through the Eastern Gulf Wed/Thurs (3/11) with 28 ft seas aimed reasonably well to CA and up to 36 ft to the Pacific Northwest. Swell from that system expected Fri (3/13) with follow on energy in to Sat (3/13). A stronger system is forecast right behind in the Gulf Sat/Sun (3/14) with up to 37 ft seas and positioned a little further south/better in the CA swell window. Possible swell for early next week. Down south a weak/small gale formed southeast of Tahiti Thurs (3/11) with barely 30 ft seas. Small swell likely is radiating north. A stronger storm is forecast just southeast of New Zealand Sat/Sun (3/14) with 55 kt wind and up to 45 ft seas. Possible real southern hemi swell for Tahiti, Hawaii and California a little over a week out.	---	---
