Wind direction plays a crucial role in wave quality. Offshore winds (blowing from land to sea) create cleaner waves by holding them up and grooming the face - ideal for learning. Consider using a longer board (7-9ft) in today's conditions as they're more stable and easier to catch waves with. With water temps around 59-60°F, you'll want a 3/2mm wetsuit for comfort. Remember to check the tides - the current normal tide transitioning to low means changing conditions throughout your session.
