Outlook
Up some maybe --- A gale developed Mon-Tues (7/15) over the far SE Pacific with 24 ft seas aimed north. Swell building on Thurs (7/24). Beyond a tiny gale is lifting north over the Central South Pacific Wed (7/23) with 28-29 ft seas aimed north. Another is to quickly follow over the same track Thurs-Sat (7/26) with 37-40 ft seas aimed north and northeast. And a third is to follow over the same path Mon-Wed (7/30) with up to 40 ft seas aimed north. An improving pattern seems likely.
