3-D Thursday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
So we thought we'd start with a photo of the Professor checking out the Cove this morning for a trace of that predicted swell coming from the northwest. (He got his new tripod and just had to try it out!) You can see him checking it out and then you can see what he saw. Isn't technology fabulous! And as fabu as it is, there still aren't any waves! Damn! Let's see what the stats say...
Once again unlimited visibility and clear skies. Winds are offshore by 3.9kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temp is 62.8° and the water is 57.2°. Low tide is at 6:07am +1.6' and high tide will follow at 11:51am +4.6'. The buoy is reading a 1.3' swell out of 224°. We're saying that the .3 is wishful thinking and that it's really 1' and really, really poor.
Reader helps us out:
Regarding Poseur's photo of the little guy:
"...the little guy in the first photo is Connor Beatty and he rides for Spyder." - Mark Cole
(Ed. Note: We should also identify the girl in the other photo as Holly Beck.)
Down south with TJ:
"Back from Cabo San Lucas. There was a little south there this morning and Zippers looked to be on the verge of breaking. Two guys were out doing a lot of sitting. Have you ever surfed there? It looks like it could be pretty interesting though a local guy was telling it gets "way crowded" when there are waves. And Cabo itself - kind of a weird place. Troncones is so much nicer." - TJ Maggio
(Ed. Note: Yes we have surfed there and it does get crowded. A good wave though, especially for short boarders. Our favorite wave on that stretch of beach is "The Rock." When it's good it breaks almost to Zippers. We've also seen it so big that the only one out was Fred Tisue (still wondering where Todd gets the huevos?) He took off on a wave so big and so far out that when he got to the bottom we couldn't see him because of the waves in front.)
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
