### Next 5 Days Surf Outlook
Day 1 (Today):
- Wave Size: 0.8–1.2m (3-4ft faces)
- Wind: Moderate onshore (SW, 15-20 knots)
- Tide: Early morning high, dropping through afternoon
- Summary: Choppy with some rideable peaks, best at high-tide sandbanks.
Day 2:
- Wave Size: 1–1.4m (3-5ft faces)
- Wind: Light-moderate SW veering W, 10-12 knots

Day 3:
- Wave Size: 0.7–1m (2-3ft faces)
- Wind: Light NW, under 10 knots

- Wave Size: 0.5–0.8m (1-2.5ft faces)
- Wind: Variable, mostly light east
- Tide: Early morning low, high after noon
- Summary: Weak, but possible summer fun waves. Offshore wind = extra clean.

### Best Surf Days?
- Day 2: Clearly the best mix of size, period, and cleaner wind (W to SW). Afternoon rising tide makes for better peel and fewer closeouts.
- Day 3 & Day 4: Clean but smaller; great for less experienced surfers, longboards, or if you just want mellow conditions.
- Day 5: New swell hits, but potential for choppy conditions—surf early for best shape.
### General Tips:
- Go early if possible; winds usually increase in the afternoon.
- Watch the tides: mid-to-high normally works best for most Dutch breaks to avoid shore-dump.
- Bring a wetsuit (3/2mm or 4/3mm): water’s just about 16-17°C in early June.
