Friday morning looks like your best bet with a solid 3ft faces and light winds that'll keep things clean, plus you'll have a couple hours of daylight after work if you can't make it early. If you're free Thursday afternoon, don't sleep on it either - conditions will be pumping at 2-3ft with light southwest winds, though Friday's still the play for consistency.
