Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Lake Worth Pier Northside come from?

Does LazySurfer predict whether Lake Worth Pier Northside 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.
