- Wind: Light winds early (WNW 8 knots), increasing onshore by afternoon

Day 3:

- Wave size: 2-3ft (0.7-1m)

- Wind: Light offshore (E, 6 knots)

### Summary & Recommendations

- Best days for surfing:

- Day 3 is the best: Light offshore wind and playful swell make for the most classic surf conditions.

- Day 2 (early morning): Also good with cleaner winds before onshore picks up.

- Other notes: Day 4 is great for beginners/longboarders due to the small but glassy conditions. For more advanced surfers, stick to Day 2 (morning) and Day 3.

- Factors: Consistent moderate swell, with the main differences being wind direction and strength. Always check for updates as North Sea conditions can change quickly!
