Fractious Friday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
The day started out with a bit of grayness in the vault of the sky. We took our accompanying shot of the Hermosa Pier to emphasize the grayness of the morning. If you look on the wall, you see the list of prohibitions that the city of Hermosa has posted to advise the citizenry that none of this behavior will be tolerated. Now, if you zoom in on the list of no-no's you will see it gets increasingly fuzzy the closer you get. That's the way it's always looked to us! Amazing...
A bit of precipitation this morning, but nothing that could be called rain. Sun is breaking through in some quarters and it looks like it might be a rather gorgeous spring day. Visibility is 12 miles and there are some puffy clouds motoring about the blue. Winds started out on to side shore from the south at 9.7kts and the sea surface has a light chop just short of whitecaps. The air temp is 60.1° and the water is 62.8°. High tide is at 9:32am +3.5' and low tide will follow at 1:57pm +2.2'. Buoy station #46221 is reading a 2.6' swell out of 217°. We're calling it 1' to 2' and with the current tide it's too small and high to ride. Unfortunately, the wind looks like it's taking care of any possibilities there might have been for waves this morning.
The outlook for the weekend isn't inspiring, but the predictions try to be hopeful.. The most promising prognosticators suggest swells up to 3'. Our only apprehension is about the winds and tide. They don't seem to be in our favor - but hey! Go check it out and maybe it might just surprise you! Who know? Then again breaky isn't so bad...
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
