Day 1: Today
- Wave Height: 1.1–1.5m
- Wind: Moderate WSW (side-onshore, 15–20 knots)

---
Day 2: Tomorrow
- Wave Height: 0.8–1.2m
- Wind: WNW, strong (20 knots), onshore
- Tide: High tide late afternoon
- Summary: Messy windblown waves due to strong onshore wind. Not the best; may be usable for windsurfers or advanced surfers seeking rough water.

Day 3:
- Wave Height: 1.3–1.7m
- Wind: SW, moderate-to-light (10–15 knots)
- Tide: Low at midday, high late evening

Day 4:
- Wave Height: 0.9–1.2m
- Wind: Variable, then picking up E (offshore) late afternoon

Day 5:
- Wave Height: 0.6–1.0m, easing
- Wind: E/SE (offshore), light (5–10 knots)
- Tide: Low in morning

## Best Days for Surfing:
Day 3:
- *Why?*
Good swell (1.3–1.7m), lighter SW winds, and favorable tide make for the best combo of wave size and surfable conditions.
Day 4 (late) & Day 5 (early):
- *Why?*
Smaller waves but offshore winds create lovely smooth, clean faces—perfect for style and practicing maneuvers, especially for intermediate and longboard surfers.

### Quick Tips:
- Avoid: Days 1 & 2 (windblown, messy)
- Go for: Day 3 (overall best), Day 4 late/Day 5 early (clean offshore, smaller)
- Look out for: Early mornings or late afternoons for less wind and better tides
Always check local webcams and tide charts for your specific spot (Scheveningen, Wijk aan Zee, etc.) before heading out!
