## Summary

- Best days for surfing:

Thursday (and maybe early Friday) – good wave size, favorable (cross/offshore) winds, and convenient tides.

- Other days:

Early week is small and/or choppy (onshores), Wednesday larger but too messy unless you find shelter.

Where to go:

- Check west-facing beaches like Scheveningen, Wijk aan Zee, or Noordwijk for the swell.

- Seek out piers, jetties, or harbour mouths for wind protection on windy days.

Tips:

- Bring a wetsuit (water temps still ~15–17°C in June).

- Hit your session around mid-morning or early afternoon highs for peak fun.

- If you're new, small days (Mon/Tues) are safest to practice.
