- Wind: Moderate WSW, 15-20 knots (cross-onshore)

- Wind: W to NW, 10-14 knots (lighter, still onshore)

- Wind: Light NW, <10 knots (offshore to cross-offshore at some beaches)

#### Sunday
- Wave Size: 0.5-0.7m (dropping)
- Wind: Variable, mainly light E/NE (offshore)

### Best Surf Days & Why
- Saturday:
- Why: Good wave size (0.7-0.9m), light winds shifting offshore, and favorable tides for shaped peaks and clean walls. Most consistent, fun conditions for both short and longboards.
- Friday (early) & Sunday (early):
- Why: Friday morning has lighter winds and still decent size; Sunday morning is glassy but smaller, perfect if you want mellow, smooth longboard rides.
Monday/Thursday are less ideal due to either wind or lack of swell, but can be fun for learners at sheltered breaks.

Tips:
- Check local cams and tide charts for your nearest spot, as low tide can expose sandbanks and improve (or worsen!) conditions.
- Best windows are typically mornings or evenings due to lighter winds and less crowd.
