### Best Days for Surfing
- Day 3 is the standout: Light offshores + medium swell = clean, fun lines. Get out early.
- Day 2 offers size but is windier/choppier: Fun for intermediates/shortboarders who can handle texture.

General Tips: Aim for early mornings on bigger days for best winds and tides. Watch rips as swell size increases. If offshore wind is forecast, prioritize those hours!
