This Week's Outlook

Wednesday morning looks like your best bet with clean 3-foot waves and that southeast wind keeping things tidy, especially if you time it around the incoming tide before the 2:21 PM high. Friday afternoon could be decent too with offshore winds cleaning up the 2-foot surf, but the period's pretty short so it'll be a bit more choppy.
