Roger is pretty right. The N/S winds are typical winter winds, so they affect the Puget Sound area more than the Strait of Juan. The summer winds are West (on shore flow) or east, (offshore) and the fetch in Juan de Fuca get V E R Y long. Often times in crossing you can see and feel the Pacific "wave train" rollers. They can be 6 - 12 feet and 30 - 45 second periods. Those are not usually a problem unless there is also a tide/wind conflict.
