Extended Outlook	Up some	---	The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) is in the Inactive state and expected to continue there through early next month. No direct 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). Remnants of a previous Gulf gale reorganized just off the NCal coast Tues (3/16) generating 45+ kt winds and 28 ft seas for a brief window setting up raw swell for Wed. Things to really settle down after that. A solid gale is modeled on the dateline over the coming weekend (3/20) with 37 ft seas, but that is pure fantasy at this early date. Down south a weak/small gale formed southeast of Tahiti Thurs (3/11) with barely 30 ft seas. Small swell likely is radiating north arriving Thurs (3/18). A stronger storm built just southeast of New Zealand Sat/Sun (3/14) with 50 kt wind and up to 46 ft seas. Possible real southern hemi swell for California early next week.	---	---
