MARINE SYNOPSIS: Surface ridging will continue to amplify offshore, with northwesterlies over the coastal waters. A thermally induced trough will start to develop near the coastline on Thursday, shifting inland on Friday, with offshore flow through the interior waters. Small craft advisory easterlies look to be possible Thursday night into Friday for the Central and Eastern Strait of Juan De Fuca. Coastal seas around 6 to 8 feet this afternoon will gradually subside to around 4 to 6 feet through midweek. Mazurkiewicz (Issued: 219 PM PDT Tue Oct 3 2023 by NOAA)
