Swell Info is calling it large for late Friday through Saturday. Nine feet @ 15 seconds, with side off winds of 18. If only I was twenty years younger and thirty times more talented…

iWindsurf is talking about ENE 15 gusting to 23 in the afternoon. That's your basic big board at the Bowl (Bill's Bowl) type conditions. A fine way to start the long Memorial Day weekend. What say ye, men of wind and waves?
