## Best Surfing Days & Why:

- Day 3 is clearly the best: Larger, clean, glassy surf thanks to a solid swell and light offshore winds. Suits more experienced surfers looking for quality waves.

- Day 5 is good for small-wave fun: Clean, smooth, and mellow—great for beginners or longboarders.

- Days 1, 2, and 4: Mixed, with some onshore wind and smaller/rougher surf, but can provide fun sessions for less experienced surfers wanting waves.

Tip: Surf early (dawn patrol) for the cleanest conditions, particularly on Days 2, 3, and 5, before winds pick up. Always check local forecasts for the latest tide and wind changes!
