### Best Days for Surfing
1. Day 4 (Best) – *Clean, powerful swell, offshore winds. Great for experienced surfers & performance boards.*
2. Day 2 (Very Good) – *Nicely sized clean swell, particularly early in the day. Great for intermediates.*
3. Day 5 Morning – *Still some size with light offshores, best early session.*
### Why?
- Wave size: Peaking on Day 4, but solid on Days 2 and 5.
- Wind: Offshore or lightest winds on Days 4 and early 5, giving glassier/cleaner conditions.
- Tide: Look for pushing or full high tide at exposed spots like Scheveningen, Wijk aan Zee, and Nordwijk for the best shape—these line up best on Days 2 and 4.
