Is 9th St good for surfing right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-06-26 11:30 UTC), 9th St is fair: the live 2–4 ft short-period swell from the SW is off its ideal S direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is moderate from the S.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for 9th St 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 (Atlantic City (Ocean)). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
What are the best surf conditions for 9th St?
9th St is most often good on a 2–4 ft short-period (under 8s) swell from the S, with light wind from the E, on a mid incoming tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest here.
Does LazySurfer predict whether 9th St 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.
