Certainly! Here’s a summary of the surf forecast for the Netherlands over the next five days (early June 2024), focusing on the main surf spots like Scheveningen, Wijk aan Zee, and Domburg:
---
### Day 1 (Today / Tomorrow)
- Wave size: 1.0-1.5m, mostly short-period wind swell
- Wind: Moderate onshore, SSW 15-20 knots
- Tide: Mixed, with best surf on the incoming tide
- Summary: Choppy conditions due to strong onshore winds. Not ideal for surfing unless you’re seeking a challenge or are a beginner looking for whitewater rides.
---
### Day 2
- Wave size: 0.8–1.2m
- Wind: Lighter, turning W to NW around 10 knots
- Tide: Early morning and late afternoon incoming tides
- Summary: Cleaner conditions possible as the wind drops and shifts. Still some leftover wind swell, so conditions improve, especially near high tide. Better chance for surfable waves.
---
### Day 3
- Wave size: 0.5–1.0m
- Wind: Light variable, mainly NE
- Tide: Low tide midday
- Summary: Smaller but cleaner waves with light/variable winds. Best for beginners or longboarders; conditions at exposed spots will be glassier during the morning.
---
### Day 4
- Wave size: 1.5m building (new pulse)
- Wind: SW, increasing to 15 knots by afternoon
- Tide: Incoming mid-afternoon
- Summary: New swell arrives! Size picks up, but winds become moderate to strong and onshore again. Early morning may offer the best window before winds pick up.

### Day 5
- Wave size: 1.2–1.6m, mix of wind and groundswell
- Wind: WNW, moderate (12–14 knots)
- Tide: Late morning high, dropping in the afternoon
- Summary: Fun-sized surf holds. Winds are cross-shore, so expect manageable chop. Best for intermediate surfers, especially around high tide with wind protection near jetties/pier.

### Best Days to Surf
- Day 2: Best overall for average surfers—cleaner, manageable waves and lighter winds.
- Day 3: Small but clean—ideal for beginners/longboards.
- Day 5: Good energy in the water—fun for intermediates, especially if you find wind-sheltered spots.
Tips: Tide makes a big difference in the Netherlands—aim for incoming or full tide sessions for optimal depth and wave shape, especially at main beaches.
