### Summary & Recommendations
- Best days for surfing:
- Day 3 is the best: Light offshore wind and playful swell make for the most classic surf conditions.
- Day 2 (early morning): Also good with cleaner winds before onshore picks up.
- Other notes: Day 4 is great for beginners/longboarders due to the small but glassy conditions. For more advanced surfers, stick to Day 2 (morning) and Day 3.
- Factors: Consistent moderate swell, with the main differences being wind direction and strength. Always check for updates as North Sea conditions can change quickly!
