This Week's Outlook
Tuesday morning looks like your best bet with 3ft waves and onshore wind cleaning things up, especially if you can get out there around the incoming high tide at 7am. Monday afternoon could also work if you don't mind smaller surf - just 1-2ft but the wind switches onshore which should groom whatever's out there.
