Outlook
Up some maybe --- A gale pushed off the Kuril Islands Thurs-Fri (10/10) with up to 37 ft seas aimed east. Energy from extratropical storm Halong is to be imbedded in that but nne of it is to show in Southern CA. Another gale developed off the Kurils Sat-Sun (10/12) with 23 ft seas aimed east. That swell is to also not reach SCal. A gale is forecast for the Northwestern Gulf Wed (10/15) with 31 ft seas aimed east. Of more interest is a storm forecast on the dateline Sat (10/18) with 51 ft seas aimed east tracking to the Northwestern Gulf on Mon (10/20). The models are teasing.
