Frequently asked
Is The Wall North working right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-10-18 13:00 UTC), The Wall North is off: the live 0–2 ft short-period swell from the NE is off its ideal SE direction and is under its usual size, and the wind is light from the NW.
Is The Wall North good for beginners?
The Wall North is best for improving and intermediate surfers — it's most often good on 2–4 ft surf, manageable on its smaller days but a step up from true beginner conditions. Conditions change daily, so always check the live report on this page before paddling out.
What's the best tide for The Wall North?
The Wall North tends to be best on a high outgoing tide — the tide stage LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Tide changes how the swell breaks, so check the two-day tide chart on this page for today's high and low times.
What swell direction is best for The Wall North?
The best swell direction for The Wall North is from the southeast (SE). Swell arriving from the southeast lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.
What's the best wind for The Wall North?
The Wall North is most often good when it's glassy, with little to no wind — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Light or offshore wind keeps the wave face clean; check the live report on this page for current wind.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for The Wall North 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 44098) and the nearest NOAA tide station (Seavey Island). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
Does LazySurfer predict whether The Wall North 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.
