whats good for the Pacific hampers the Atlantic, and visa versa). Otherwise another storm is forecast tracking from under Australia up into the Tasman Sea Mon/Tues (8/4) with 45 kt winds and 45 ft seas offering good potential for West New Zealand up into Fiji. The more warm water in the equatorial East Pacific means more storm production in the North Pacific during winter months (roughly speaking). Previous Westerly Wind Bursts (WWB) associated with the Active Phase of the MJO had generated Kelvin Waves resulting in the movement of warm subsurface water to the east, stating to break the surface near Central America in mid-July. sgi_ord=Math.random()*10000000000000000;
As of Saturday (3/9) the daily Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was steady at 11.39. The PDO turned from a 16 year negative run (Jan 98-Feb 2014) in early 2014 and has been positive ever since (other than a few months of negative readings in Fall 2016, the result of a turn towards La Nina). //-->, Issued
We earned our reputation as a technical powerhouse by working with the local crew at Mavericks to develop surf forecasts specifically for them. Support for energy transfer into the jet is weak and is expected to be getting progressively weaker. Look out! 32 ft seas from previous fetch were still holding Saturday evening at 48S 154W but focusing more to the east, targeting only Central and South America while fading.
