Lost Boys & Co... T hose Hermosa Rams🐏 🐏 🐏 are at it again!  Yep, they finished building their micro field and they're getting ready to unleash their flock 🐏 on the beach.  They were saying 🐏 that this is the first football field on the beach, completely ignoring the fact that untold numbers of locals have been playing football on the beach for decades without the luxury of turf 🐏 , yard-lines and goalposts.  In fact if they were truly THE beach team 🐏 they'd be playing on the sand and not on some fancy artificial turf.  Yeah, like that... M eanwhile, the wind is up onshore 🐏 at 6 to 10kts and the sea surface is roughed up.  The air temp was 56.0º and the water is 58.1º.  High tide is at 11:16am +3.5' and low tide follows at 3:58pm +1.9'.  It's a SSW swell out of 202º at 3.6' and it's a blown 🐏 down 2' t 3' in the surfline...  Better luck mañana... ✠ 🐏 "When the surf breaks , we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... D on't know quite what to say this morning.  Looked like it was going to be a possibility, then slowly deteriorated before our eyes.  10miles visibility under clear skies.  Winds were out of the WSW at 4 to 6kts.  The sea surface was heavily textured.  The air temperature was 55.5º and the water is 57.9º, but everyone is predicting a rise in the temps.  High tide is at 10:34am +3.8' and low tide will be at 3:38pm +1.6'.  There's a 3.3' SSW swell out of 198º.  It's 2' to 3' in the surfline and it was looking promising until the tide pushed it put of the way. I n #1 we have a heavily colorized shot of the surf this morning in an attempt to make it look surfable.   T he sole response we got to name the Hermosa football was "Los Borrachos," which really resonates on several levels being both Hispanic in origin and characterizes the evening culture of Hermosa.  Also it offers great opportunities for classic logos.  A football w

Lost Boys & Co... Y ou know how when you're a finalist and they're calling the names of the finishers and you're not sixth and then not fifth and then not fourth.  So you know you're in the top three and then they announce number three and it's not you, so dammit it's between you and that other person for first.  Then they announce the other name for second and you know you WON!  Nope, we've never been there, but Millie and Christian have and here (#1) they are with their first place trophies!  Contest was at Church's and they both aced their lead-up heats and won the gold.  M eanwhile it was raining this morning.  Yes, rain.  3 miles visibility under cloudy skies.  Winds were on shore 8 to 10kts and the sea surface is challenged.  The air was 58.7º and the water is 59.0º.  High tide is at 9:56am +4.0' and low tide will be at 3:17pm +1.3'.  It's a full moon SSW swell out of 193º at 3.3' and the wind is blowing down three footers to a

Lost Boys & Co... W e were walking up the Strand toward the pier when these gigantic bubbles started floating our way.  We kept walking until we came to this gent creating these monstrous globules of transparent fluid.  We admired them for a minute and then continued to our perch on the pier.  Soon we saw more bubbles emanating from farther down the pier and heading south along the wind.  Sometimes when they would hit the water they wouldn't pop immediately and scud along the surface.  The guy looked like he was having a grand old time! L ater, one of our resident biologists, Anupa lead us in spotting a number of California Corbina or Menticirrhus undulatus in the surfline. There were quite a few and now she's got us all interested in snagging a couple for sport.  Yes, and letting them go afterwards... O vercast this morning with a bit of drizzle.  5 miles visibility.  No wind and smooth sea surface.  The air temperature was 56.6º and the water is 58.3º.  Even the swim lad

Lost Boys & Co... T his (#1) is what can happen if you don't properly moisturize!  The two feet on the left have suffered the rigors of lack of moisturization.  YES!  There are numerous products available that can keep your footsies supple and looking young.  Of course the best way to make your feet look young is to be 27 years old as opposed to the 70+ years old feet on the left...  Bottom line, you don't have a chance... S o the tide was dropping, there was a peak at Annaland and it looked like it was getting more consistent.  But...  There was five miles visibility under thinly overcast skies.  Winds were light offshore at 1 to 3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 57.8º and the water is 58.3º.  The valella haven't let us down.  High tide was at 6:46am +4.3' and low tide follows at 1:27pm +0.2'.  It's a SSW swell out of 200º at 3.6' and it was 3' when it decided to break, which was good at first and then disappeared... A ll Star

Lost Boys & Co... H ere (#1) we have Daisy Mae working on her five toes over the nose move.  She will be on the 2036 Redondo team and be the star goofy-foot longboarder.  It's a long way to the nose when you're not quite two feet tall... F og rolled in early this morning with some light onshore wind.  The air was a damp 51.4º and the water is 57.4º.  High tide was at 5:48am +4.2' and low tide will be at 12":53pm +0.1'.  There's a lot of south in this swell out of 200º SSW at 3.9'.  With the tide it formed up to about 3' breaking on those new outside sandbars.  If you got stuck in the middle you sat there contemplating your navel... G otta hand it to the Costa team this morning as they beat Redondo 83 to 64.  Redondo did manage to snag a couple of firsts with Tyler Anderson early in the contest and Shane Murphy in Men's Longboard.  Dylan Morrisroe was the sole 2nd place recipient and there were five thirds:  Jackson Owens, Keani Honda-Snow, Bridg
