### Recommendations
- Best Day: *Day 3* – largest and cleanest surf, especially early morning due to building swell and offshore winds.
- Other Good Options: *Day 4* for mellow, clean longboard conditions.
- Avoid: Today/Day 1 and Day 2 unless you are experienced and fine with choppier, wind-driven waves.
Tip: Always check your local spot and live cams day-of for updates, and time your surf for incoming tides for best sandbar shape.
