Tonic Water Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
On our trek around the SoBay yesterday we grabbed a few shots of some local spots starting to show. Under the RB Pier we watched this little wave turn into a pretty good left about noonish. Then further down the beach at Sapphire the swell was crabbing in just right to make the middle peek start to break. The kid off to the right hadn't figured it out yet and we didn't give away any secrets. As a matter of fact "Secrets" was breaking as well. A little walled but not bad...
This morning it's brilliantly clear and unlimited visibility. Windds are out of the NNE, by 5.9kts and the sea surface has a smooth tack to it. The air temperature is 55.6º and feels ten degrees colder. The water is 57.7ºand it doesn't feel that warm either. High tide is at 9:12am +5.7' and low tide will be at 4:09pm -0.6'. The buoy is reading 3.9' on a swell out of 293º. We're calling it 3' to 4' and it's still taking it's time going down enough to break. Keep a lookout, because it's going to happen!
We were starting to worry because we hadn't seen the Coach in a while.. You know since he started this deacon thing, he's been heading into the inner-city and running around late at night and in general been a little scketchy in his habits. We finally caught up to him, only because he's had to slow down to take a colonoscopy tomorrow. Well, parts of him have slowed down while others have sped-up. We told him it might not be a good idea to go right into the water after he has his procedure. We were thinking if there isn't a dependable seal, you could just fill up with sea water and sink into the briney deep. He assured us that he had already saved the plug to the umbrella on the patio table and he had it covered. Good...

HI Frank,
Is that Santa Monica or Century City in the sky line? I don't think it is downtown LA ... I can't see the telling Library Tower. But, it sure is a nice clear view of a beautiful area. I love our "hood"! - Carol
(Ed. Note: It's mostly Santa Monica with a dash of westside)
Boomfwappa says: That's not the view from the cove...that's the view from the ladies room at the La Venta Inn... Boomfwappa says "Don't ask how he knows"...That's what Boomfwappa says............
(Ed. Note: Sometimes Boomfwappa is scary right-on...)
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
