15 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET. A MODERATE CHOP ON

Looks like they had a good session from the photos. The wind shifted N to NNE after about 10:30 am and boosted into the mid to high teens with gusts into the 20's mph range. They had some nice swells too, looked close to head high. They got lucky with the front, looks like it timed out just right.
