Elmer Fudd Friday Surf & Culture Report

Plane?  What plane? - Don Burt

What? It was there a minute ago?  Maybe it flew away.  On the other hand Xena (Warrior Princess) thought she had it: 

        "I believe that is a C-5 Galaxy!"  - Xena


We're not sure that's a C-5 Galaxy, we thought they were a tad bigger.  Maybe this was a "baby-galaxy?"  What we do know is that we have our first photo of a UFO!  Yeah, we're pretty damned excited....


Partly cloudy this morning with a chance of showers throughout the day.  We have 15 miles visibility and some spectacular cloud formations on the horizon.  Winds are still off by 4.8kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp is 58.6º and the water is holding at 58.1º.  High tide is at 7:05am +5.6' and low tide will follow at 2:26pm -0.6'.  The buoy is reading a west swell at 253º 3.3' and holding steady.  The tide is still a bit high, but later this morning you're likely to find some good waves along the avenues and if you wait until later you might even luck out at Rat or Haggerty's (if you feel like battling the crowd.)


So, it's Friday!  Go out there and have a marvelous time.  We encourage you to do a bit of goofing off at work today.  For your own good and your sense of humor.  Boomfwappa called us and told us that our new President is expecting ALL of us to pitch in an extra measure to make this experiment in democracy work.  He wanted to know what WE were going to do.  Well, we're thinking about it.  Not sure yet, but it might involve some volunteer work.  Maybe some beach cleanups?  Anybody ever participated in one of those?  Paver?  Did you do some of that with the scouts?  Let us know...

Lost Boys & Co... P rofessor, This is a shot taken last week at a secret spot that is less than 30 miles away from you guys. Any guesses?  My buddy Dave sent it from Salta Verde Point on the backside of Catalina. Only accessible by boat or if you know someone with the key. Tip: The guy in the pic is the guy with the key! Sea Wolf... S o, apparently if you decide to leave Avalon and head to the backside you might score on a south swell.  For some reason this place looks like there might be some rocks on the inside.  No indications of that other than the boils following the guy with the key... C loudless skies this morning with 20+miles visibility.  Winds were off to 2.2kts and the sea surface had a residual bump that held all day.  The air temperature was 79.3˚ and the water was 66.4˚, apparently affected by the wind and upwelling.  High tide was at 6:55am +3.9' and low tide will be at 11:46am +2.8' for a little less than a foot differential.  There's a SW swell out of

Lost Boys & Co... S ancho, on this morning's Sruf Familia thread said it best, "Somber rainy day for Jimmy."  J immy Buffett died Friday, September 1.  He was 76 years old and had recently been struggling with health issues.  A Lost Boy of the first order his music was the sound-track for our lives. B ut he might have said it best: "But there's one particular harbor/ So far yet so near/ Where I see the days as they fade away/ And finally disappear." S ail on Jimmy Buffett and we hope on the corner of that one particular harbor there's a wave that you can surf through eternity.  Aloha Jimmy... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... W ho's behind those Foster-Grants?  Well, we'll bet that he's NEVER worn a pair of F-G's.  Are those Oliver People's?  Cartier's, Garrett Leight's?  We'll say Tom Ford's and he should be their poster boy.  Yep, it's Jetski in the arena at the US Open.  Looking rather trim in his court-side togs, we're waiting for his description of the action... W e continue our assault on some of the smallest waves ever ridden!  We'll have to check the Guinness book, but we think we're on to something.  So it was ten miles visibility under partly cloudy skies and winds were offshore by 5 to 7kts.  The3 air temp was 63.9º and the water was 70.7º at the ever popular #46221 Santa Monica Buoy.  High tide was at 11:01am +5.5' and low tide follows at 4:52pm +0.7'.  It turns out we observed that low tide and even with the afternoon south wind howling around 10kts, Sapphire still looked fairly smooth.  We had a south swell out o
