Fulcrum Friday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
We surfed Hermosa this morning based on the waves we saw on the back of Scotty's. It turns out the waves were painted and the door was real.
Under overcast skies this morning we have 7 miles visibility. Winds are out of the WSW by 1.9kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temp is 61.5° and the water is 62.8°. Low tide was at 7:15am +0.0' and high tide will follow at 2:17pm +3.6'. Buoy #46221 is reading a 2.6' swell out of the SW at 225°. We're calling it 2' and poor. Some of the outsides were a bit bigger, but everything got walled up on the inside.
Tonight Boomfwappa and the Boomtown Bombers will be playing at Keegan's Pub in Old Torrance. It's on Marcellena across from the old post office. The action starts at 7pm, but the rumor is that there will be an happy hour at the Buffalo Fire Dept. (where the old Aoli used to be.) Yeah, we know BFD...
Our second photo this morning turns out to be our own Rosetta Stone. These signs which communicate the same messages in Spanish and English expanded our vocabularies to include: Break Down: Desbaraten, Place them: Ponganlas, and Cans: Botes de metal. Now if we want to put something somewhere, get a can of beer or have a breakdown, we can also do it in Spanish. Ole'...
Note: Remember we'll be out all next week cruising the Alaskan coast. E-mail service from that part of the world is sketchy so we won't promise anything until we get back. Next report: June 22, 2009.
