surfing
a guy is going surfing:
He reaches for the surfboard and throws a T-shirt across his shoulder on the way out toward the Jeep. Maybe the northeast side might have a nice set today?
is this some kind of surf slang? i can only guess that he's talking about the wind or that this might be a mistake and it should read 'sunset' instead

A nice set of smooth, crystal blue waves pitches and peels down the rocky shoreline toward me.
