I've had good luck with an Angulo slotted wave fin on those days as well
as a "HotDog"fin. ANY fin smaller will help alot. There are several
other swept wave fins that are very good like the Ian Boyd fin and the
"old standard fin that everyone has...." just very small can get em at a
swap and sand out.....
