The Wall North Surf Report & Ideal Conditions

Live NOAA data · Updated 2026-09-15
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-09-15 14:00 UTC), The Wall North is marginal: the live 2–4 ft short-period swell from the NE is off its ideal SE direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is calm from the W. The Wall North is most often good on a 2–4 ft medium-period (8–16s) swell from the SE, with glassy / no wind from the N, on a high outgoing tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest here. It best suits improving and intermediate surfers.

What swell direction is best for The Wall North?

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.
