This Week's Intelligence

Please note: I do not have real-time web access to current surf forecasts, but I can guide you on how to check or interpret the surf forecast for the Netherlands (e.g., Scheveningen, Zandvoort) and summarize what to look for.

How to Check the Forecast:

1. Use surf forecasting sites like Magicseaweed, Surfline, or Windguru for Netherlands beaches.

2. Look at the following factors:

- Wave size (1.0–2.0 meters is good for most ability levels in the Netherlands)

- Swell direction (W/NW swells are typical and best for Dutch beaches)

- Wind direction & strength (Offshore or light winds = clean waves; onshore strong winds = blown out)

- Tide (Mid-tide often best, but check your local spot)

Sample 5-Day Summary (Fictitious Example):

| Day | Wave Size | Wind Conditions | Tide | Best For Surfing? | Why |

|------------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|-------------------------|

| Monday | 1.2m | Moderate WNW, onshore | Mid-Low AM | No | Choppy, windblown surf |

| Tuesday | 1.5m | Light NE, offshore | High AM, dropping | YES | Clean, glassy peaks |

| Wednesday | 2.0m | Moderate SW, cross/onshore | Low noon | OK | Larger, messy surf |

| Thursday | 1.4m | Light E, offshore | Mid PM | YES | Fun, clean waves |

| Friday | 0.6m | Variable, light | High morning | No | Too small, inconsistent |

Best Days for Surfing:

- Tuesday: Light NE (offshore) winds and a mid-level swell. Clean, glassy surf expected during a dropping tide—a favorite combination.

- Thursday: Light E winds (offshore), fun wave heights, and favorable tides for shaping good sandbar waves.

Why:

- Wave size is in a surfable range for most levels (1.2–1.5m is ideal for the Netherlands’ beach breaks).

- Offshore or light winds groom the waves instead of chopping them up.

- Tide timing gives enough water over the sandbanks for shaped, punchy surf.

Challenging/Best-for-Pros Day:

- Wednesday: Swell is biggest, but winds make it messy and difficult.
