Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Newport 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 46050) and the nearest NOAA tide station (Southbeach). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.

Does LazySurfer predict whether Newport 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.
