### Surf Forecast - Netherlands (Next 5 Days)

#### Thursday

- Wave Size: 1.0-1.3m (chest high sets)

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

- Tide: Mid-morning high, dropping through midday

- Summary: Some size, but wind is relatively strong and onshore, causing choppy conditions. Occasional clean sets during wind lulls and tide changes.

#### Friday

- Wave Size: 0.8-1.0m (shoulder high)

- Wind: W to NW, 10-14 knots (lighter, still onshore)

- Tide: Early afternoon high

- Summary: More manageable winds, especially in the morning; still a bit messy midday, but the dropping tide could offer cleaner faces for a short period before low tide slackens things.

#### Saturday

- Wave Size: 0.7-0.9m

- Wind: Light NW, <10 knots (offshore to cross-offshore at some beaches)

- Tide: Mid-morning low, rising through lunch

- Summary: Best day for surfing! Winds are light and turning more favorable offshore, especially during early morning or late afternoon sessions. Clean conditions likely, with decent wave size remaining.

#### Sunday

- Wave Size: 0.5-0.7m (dropping)

- Wind: Variable, mainly light E/NE (offshore)

- Tide: High around late morning

- Summary: Conditions remain glassy and clean, but wave size decreases with fading swell. Good for beginner or longboard sessions, especially early.

#### Monday

- Wave Size: 0.4-0.5m (knee to waist-high)

- Wind: Light to moderate SE (offshore at most spots)

- Tide: Midday low

- Summary: Cleanest possible surf, but small and weak. Ideal only for longboards or beginners.

### Best Surf Days & Why

- Saturday:

- Why: Good wave size (0.7-0.9m), light winds shifting offshore, and favorable tides for shaped peaks and clean walls. Most consistent, fun conditions for both short and longboards.

- Friday (early) & Sunday (early):

- Why: Friday morning has lighter winds and still decent size; Sunday morning is glassy but smaller, perfect if you want mellow, smooth longboard rides.

Monday/Thursday are less ideal due to either wind or lack of swell, but can be fun for learners at sheltered breaks.

Tips:

- Check local cams and tide charts for your nearest spot, as low tide can expose sandbanks and improve (or worsen!) conditions.

- Best windows are typically mornings or evenings due to lighter winds and less crowd.
