    I must say - I love my wife, she understands when there is swell that she won't see me unless she's at the beach too. She even texts hurricane updates to me at work.

    But for your question - sunday morning looks good now, but I'm betting we get a nice evening glass off saturday right before dark on dead low tide.

    This is what it looks like for the winds...

    Friday and Saturday are looking fairly light for the most part. Onshore sea breezes are likely to increase in the afternoon hours, so the early day is likely going to offer lighter winds and better conditions. At this point, it looks like winds will be very light on Sunday morning, and then increase through the day and trash things up with an approaching frontal system.

    With the long period swells, tides will be a big factor too, keep this in mind.

    Thanks for the replies. Winds under <5 knots sound good, regardless of the direction. I'll go by that.

    Is this a spot specific recommendation or can you generalize this to say something like long period swells work much better on [high/low] tides? Why are long period swells affected by tides more?
