## When to Go?
- Friday is the clear standout for all levels: best combination of rideable swell and cleaner conditions, especially early.
- Saturday starts to drop off, but could be good for cruisy rides or learners.
- Thursday afternoon could be okay for less-experienced surfers or those desperate to get wet.
- Sunday and Wednesday are generally too small or messy unless you’re a beginner or just need to paddle out.
## Tips:
- Morning sessions will be cleaner (lighter winds, emptier beaches).
- High tide is best for most Dutch beach breaks.
- Check the local cam/weather right beforehand, as North Sea conditions can shift quickly!
