### Netherlands Surf Forecast: Next 5 Days

#### Day 1 (Today)

- Wave Size: 1-1.5m (3-5ft)

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

#### Day 2

- Wave Size: 1m (3ft)

- Wind: WNW winds decreasing, becoming light (<10 knots)

- Wind: SSW moderate (12-15 knots), onshore

- Tide: Midday low, rising in the afternoon

- Summary: Smaller and mushier waves, wind still present. Best for beginners or longboarders, especially at higher tides.

#### Day 5

- Wind: light variable, turning offshore later

- Tide: Morning high, dropping through day

- Summary: Small but potentially glassy, especially late morning. Good for beginners, weak for performance surfing.
