Frequently asked
Is Three's working right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-08-26 10:00 UTC), Three's is fair: the live 2–4 ft medium-period swell from the S is off its ideal SW direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is calm from the E.
Is Three's good for beginners?
Three's 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 Three's?
Three's tends to be best on a low 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 Three's?
The best swell direction for Three's is from the southwest (SW). Swell arriving from the southwest lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.
What's the best wind for Three's?
Three's is most often good with light wind from the northeast (NE) — the wind LazySurfer surfers logged on their best-rated sessions here. Wind direction grooms or chops the wave face, so check the live report for current wind.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Three's 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 51212) and the nearest NOAA tide station (HONOLULU). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
Does LazySurfer predict whether Three's 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.
