This Week's Outlook
Your best bet is Saturday afternoon when the wind drops to basically nothing and you'll get clean 1-foot waves with longer 8-second intervals. Sunday looks bigger at 2 feet but that northwest wind is going to be howling in the morning, so maybe catch it in the afternoon when it backs off to 16mph.
