### Day 1: Friday

### Day 2: Saturday
- Wave size: 1.2-1.7m, slightly building
- Wind: Moderate onshore, but shifting to light by afternoon (SW->W 8-12kt)
- Tide: Morning mid-tide rising to high – potentially fun during the tide push
- Summary: Best window late morning to early afternoon as wind drops and tide rises. Good for all levels, occasional cleaner sets.

### Day 3: Sunday
- Wave size: 0.8-1.2m, dropping
- Wind: Offshore early (E-SE 5kt), going light and variable, then onshore by late afternoon

## Best Surf Days
- Saturday: Good mix of wave size, lighter winds during the best tides.
- Sunday (early): Cleanest conditions with offshore winds in the morning, even if waves are a bit smaller.
- Tuesday: Best wave size, but windier and messier.
Tip: Always check webcam/live updates, as local sandbanks and wind shifts can make a big difference! Generally, choose Saturday late morning or Sunday early morning for the most fun and user-friendly surf.
