Furiously Furrowing Friday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Our first photo is a rather trenchant Buck furrowing his way through the Professor's back yard - literally, not figuratively. Actually, Buck and the Professor are considering a career in the trenching business. Burying and unearthing treasure... they'd be good at it.
Another beautiful morning here in the Southland. Around 20 miles visibility and mostly sunny skies. Winds are calm and the sea surface is smooth with a slight roll. The air temp is 63.0° and the water is almost ditto at 63.3°. Take note: That's the temp out at the buoy. We're guessing that the temps in the surf were more like the high sixties and the low seventies. But there is some cool water out there! High tide is at 11:14am +4.5' and low tide will follow at 4:33pm +1.8'. The buoy is reading a slightly increasing swell at 3.0' out of 258° and we're calling it 3' to almost 4' with some nice outsides and good shape.
Photo the second is a seemingly ordinary shorebreak shot until you notice the guy getting ready to jump in. This is one of those days when you run - jump in the water - duck under the wave and it pushes you back half-way up the beach. A lesson in aquatic relativity. All is not what it seems!
Have a great weekend!
