Zippers Surf Report & Ideal Conditions

Best conditions for Zippers

Zippers is most often good on a 2–4 ft short-period (under 8s) swell from the W, with moderate wind from the W, on a high incoming tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest across the surrounding region.

These best-conditions estimates come from real sessions LazySurfer users rated highly at this break — not an editorial guess (preliminary-confidence read). In the app, LazySurfer's custom deep-learning model predicts your own 1–5★ rating at about 90% exact-match accuracy (97.6% within one star). How LazySurfer works →

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.
