Wondering whether you need to have conditional at all?

How about

sport=surfing
surfing:direction=NE
surfing:size=4ft
surfing:wind=W-SW

& make it clear in the wiki that these are the typical / usual conditions.

One thing about size. Here at least (GC) surf reports always quote feet,
not metres. Does that change by location?

 Thanks
