Frequently asked
Is Mantoloking good for surfing right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-07-15 11:00 UTC), Mantoloking is marginal: the live 2–4 ft short-period swell from the S matches its ideal S direction and is bigger than usual, and the wind is strong from the W.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Mantoloking 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 44091) and the nearest NOAA tide station (Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
What are the best surf conditions for Mantoloking?

Does LazySurfer predict whether Mantoloking 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.
