### Day 2: Saturday

- Wind: Moderate onshore, but shifting to light by afternoon (SW->W 8-12kt)

### Day 3: Sunday

- Wind: Offshore early (E-SE 5kt), going light and variable, then onshore by late afternoon

## Best Surf Days

- Saturday: Good mix of wave size, lighter winds during the best tides.

- Sunday (early): Cleanest conditions with offshore winds in the morning, even if waves are a bit smaller.

- Tuesday: Best wave size, but windier and messier.

Tip: Always check webcam/live updates, as local sandbanks and wind shifts can make a big difference! Generally, choose Saturday late morning or Sunday early morning for the most fun and user-friendly surf.
