The south sides of piers will be the most dangerous, as winds will be southwesterly.
It is not recommended to swim on Saturday, as currents will be strong. If you find yourself in the water and in a strong current, it is important to stay calm. Flip on your back, float, and follow the current. Do your best to swim to the side of the current and head to the shore.
Walking on the pier will also be potentially dangerous, as waves could wash over piers and pull walkers in.
