    wind:
      score: 0
      out of: 25
      explanation: Onshore/cross-shore: 21 km/h from 134° (SE). Destroying wave quality. Offshore range: 307°-7°.
  adjustments:
    wind history:
      adjustment: -7
      groomed: false
      morning sickness: true
      explanation: -7 points: Previous days of onshore wind left residual chop ("morning sickness"), reducing wave quality.
    windswell penalty:
      adjustment: 0
      windswell degraded: false
      explanation: Groundswell-dominant conditions (clean, long-period waves).
    secondary swell bonus:
      adjustment: 0
      explanation: No secondary swell bonus.
  summary: Surfable but not special at Ekas Inside. The 1.8m swell from 204° is workable, but conditions aren't ideal. Fine if you're local, but not worth a dedicated trip.
