Frequently asked
Is Bantham good for surfing right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-07-15 10:50 UTC), Bantham is fair: the live 2–4 ft short-period swell from the S is off its ideal SW direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is strong from the E.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Bantham come from?
LazySurfer reads public data directly from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center and the National Weather Service — the nearest NDBC wave buoy (station 44027) and the nearest NOAA tide station (EASTPORT). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
What are the best surf conditions for Bantham?
Bantham is most often good on a 2–4 ft medium-period (8–16s) swell from the SW, with strong wind from the E, on a high outgoing tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest here.
Does LazySurfer predict whether Bantham is good for me?
Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
