This Week's Outlook
Friday morning looks like the call with 5-6ft waves and decent 6-second periods, though that 18mph southwest wind will make it a bit bumpy. Thursday afternoon could be fun too if you don't mind some chop - 3-4ft with strong onshore wind but at least there's some size in the water.
