Friday morning is your best bet with 3ft waves, longer 5 second periods, and light winds keeping things clean before the afternoon lull. If that doesn't work, Saturday afternoon offers similar sized waves with offshore NW winds that'll groom things up, though the swell's dropping and it'll be a bit windier.
