Saturday:

- Wave size: 1.0 - 1.3m

- Wind: W-WSW, easing (14-18km/h)

Sunday:

- Wave size: 0.8 - 1.0m

- Wind: Weak SW ~10km/h (light offshore)

## Best days for surfing:

1. Monday:

- Why: Best combination of clean conditions, offshore winds, and fun wave size. Great shape.

2. Saturday (early morning):

- Why: Winds start to calm with lingering swell: some choppy leftovers, but much improved.

3. Sunday:

- Why: Not big, but very clean with gentle offshore wind; perfect for beginners.

*Thursday and Friday* still have size but are messier and more challenging due to onshore wind.

General Tips:

- Surf early for cleaner conditions before wind picks up.

- Favor incoming tide around high, especially at popular breaks.
