Very Moist Monday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
This weekend we traversed the highways and bi-ways of Southern California to celebrate a couple of birthdays. The first on Saturday was Nick Corsinita. We celebrated his hundredth birthday! Yikes! Quite an accomplishment. The great thing is that besides his eyesight (which is a bit fogged) he's still got fairly good hearing and all of his marbles. He was in fine form hugging it up with all the ladies (girls to him) and being as charming as he has been for the past century. The second birthday was the first for Baker Carlisle. He has great eyesight, fine hearing and a good crop of red hair - but he didn't have much to say. He looked like he was having fun. Not on the slide that the relatives pitched in for, but the box in which the slide came packed. We've included pics of both boys and their respective eyeballs. You have to figure out which belongs to who...
Meanwhile some periods of heavy rain today (like right about now.) 3 miles visibility and pretty low clouds. Winds are big time on-shore by 15.5kts, with higher gusts and the sea surface is chopped, sporting rather handsome whitecaps. The air temperature is 54.0º and the water is 56.7º, dropping a couple of degrees to normal winter temps. High tide is at 8:30am +6.7' and low tide will be at 3:21pm -1.5'. The buoy is looking at a 255º swell running at 4..6'. It's 4' to 5' and wally crashy. The weatherman says that it will clear up tomorrow, but we can expect some additional showers on Wednesday. We're hoping things will begin to straighten out as the wind diminishes. Maybe we'll just coast through the Wednesday sprinkles and surf it up!
