Lost Boys & Co... Foul ball Friday Surf & Culture Report Friday, September 26, 2008 We're running, what we thought was the outstanding wave of last Sunday's session. One-Nut Mike at Tres Palmas streaking across the outside, showing the rest of the crew how it's done. Just for the record he made this wave all the way across the inside as well. It shows you what a little speed will do! A beautiful fall morning with 10 miles visibility and a bit of low haze. Winds are calm and the sea surface is glassy. The air temp is 64.9f and the water is 67.8f. High tide is at 8:26am +5.1' and low tide will follow at 2:06pm +1.3'. The buoy is clocking the latest swell at 2.3' and the waves are in the 1' to 2' range. Looking into the weekend we see some activity up in the northeast Pacific that will be sending some swellage our way. Probably too late for Saturday, but maybe Sunday and earlier in the week. Keep an eye peeled! We'll be heading up to

Lost Boys & Co... Throwback Thursday Surf & Culture Report Thursday, September 25, 2008 Check out the attached shot of Danger Boy heading for t he Crystal Curtain. Okay, he's on the wrong side of the curtain, but at least he's looking at it and wondering how to get in. This morning we've got some heavy air, with 7 miles visibility and hazy sun, but no fog. Winds are already onshore by 5.5kts and the sea surface has a definite tack to it. The air temp is 64.0f and the water is 67.6f. High tide will be at 7:59am +4.8' and low tide will follow at 1:21pm +1.9'. The buoy is reading 2.3' and the resulti9ng waves are in the 1' to 2' range. They're good shape, but not enough umph to make it seem like it's worthwhile going out. "A billion here, a billion there - pretty soon it adds up to real money." Sen. Everett Dirksen Paver, wrote yesterday that he wasn't crazy about our new type style. Well, we agree! The prob

Lost Boys & Co... Whizzer Wednesday Surf & Culture Report Wednesday, September 24, 2008 One word: Fog. Yes, it's looking a bit foggy out there. We currently have 1/4 mile visibility and everything's looking a bit drippy. The wind is a bit on shore by 2.5kts and the sea surface is obscured. The air temperature is 62.1f and the water is 66.2f. High tide will be at 7:31am +4.4' and low tide will be at 12:27pm +2.5'. The buoy tells us that the swell is 2.0'. The buoy is pretty far out there so we can't see it. Likewise, we're going to tell you that the surf is 1' and poor, but we can't see it either. Our advice is to get some coffee, read the paper and see if things start to clear up! In the attached photo we have Bomborra Scott on his Con setting up for a bit of a corner. Even though there were a lot of complaints about the surf it still seemed to cooperate with a few of these little peelers. "He was the world's only armless

Good morning yachtsmen, canoeistas and pedal boat captains. You are so hot! Great duds. 12 miles visibility this morning under overcast skies that suggest they might not make it to noon, before breaking up. The winds are offshore by 3.2kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temperature is 63.9f and the water is 67.8f. High tide will be at 6:20am +3.5' and with hardly any change at all low tide sinks in at 9:01am at 3.4'. The surf is reading 3.0' at the buoy and hitting the beach about the same height. It's not looking good right now, but the tide is kinda stuck in the mid-threes. Maybe later... This weekend was firing off some nice little squirters. We took some snaps, so we'll share those during the week. Let's start with one of Danger Boy. He does have his moments!

Fw: Fractured Friday Surf and Culture Report 091208

Lost Boys & Co... Fractured Friday Surf and Culture Report Friday, September 12, 2008 Okay, we're going to apologize for the spelling ahead of time. The result of one hand typing isn't as elegant as one hand clapping. Not very Zen either. 5 miles visibility this morning with a pretty heavy overcast looming overhead. Winds are offshore by 3.2kts and the sea surface is smooth. The air temp is 63.1f and the water is 67.1f. High tide is at 8:50am +4.5' and low tide will follow at 2:05pm +2.0'. The buoy is reading 3.0' and the surf is a weak 1' to 2'. Remember the Coach's soiree tonight at Kincaid's. You can visit with old friends and we understand that there will be some special guests! Ooh da trills. And remember to bring those canned goodies for the food pantry. You can't possibly eat all that creamed corn by yourself! "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..." The Professor!!
