This Week's Outlook
Sunday morning looks like your best bet with 4ft waves and that south wind creating some texture, plus you'll catch the dropping tide after 7 AM which can help clean things up. Monday's looking pretty mellow with offshore winds, but the waves are dropping to 2ft so it might be more longboard territory.
