This Week's Outlook

Sunday morning looks like your best bet with 4-5ft waves and strong offshore winds cleaning things up, though it'll be pretty windy out there. Saturday afternoon could fire up too if you can handle the howling northwest wind that's gonna groom those waves but make it challenging.
