Trust Buster Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Another summer day here in the Southland. This is how we measure summer - one day at a time no matter what time of year it happens. Hell, we've already had four summer days this year. Speaking of summer, you might have seen some of the decals around town that say "Live Like Sumer." Yeah, with one "m." It's in memory of Sumer Alvarez who perished tragically in India on a trip to tutor impoverished children several years ago. Her dad, Dave Alvarez just donated windbreakers to the Bishop Montgomery Surf Team. Along with the jackets was a two page background piece on Sumer and what she was all about. Simply put, it was about her enthusiasm for surfing, academics and life in general. On one of the sleeves of the windbreakers it has the motto, "Live Like Sumer." We all need a gentle reminder from time-to-time.
Unlimited visibility as we look across the bay this morning. Clear skies and a bit of smoggies in the corners. Winds are offshore by 3.9kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temperature at 6am was already 62.1° and the water is 56.8°. High tide is at 10:10am +6.8' and low tide will be at 5:00pm -1.1'. The buoy tells us that the swell is coming out of 230° at 3.0' and we're telling you that it's pretty damned small. Maybe 1', maybe not. The good news is that everyone keeps talking about this swell that's supposed to hit on Thursday night/Friday morning. We're watching...
Mavericks didn't scare everyone:
The maverick's photos are my desktop wallpaper now. Incredible shots! Thanks! -Carol Cavelli
