.Synopsis...

Winds and seas at advisory levels will temporarily subside today,
only to approach or reach advisory thresholds again on Thursday as
the eastern edge of high pressure shifts into the western Atlantic.
A subsequent lull is anticipated as the calmer center of the ridge
settles over the Atlantic. However, winds and seas will return to
advisory levels by Saturday as a Gulf low moves from the Gulf of
Mexico across the Southeast and exits off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Conditions are expected to settle once more by the end of the
weekend, continuing into early next week.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Seas 5-7 feet subsiding to 4-6 feet later this
morning.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Jan 07, 2025...

 15 nautical miles north northeast of Fowey Rocks.
  7 nautical miles north northeast of Port Everglades.
  3 nautical miles east northeast of Lake Worth.
  6 nautical miles east northeast of Jupiter Inlet.
