Myopic Monday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Today's pic features mosaic artists extraordinairé Patti Linnet (L.) and Debbie Collette (R.) They're shown at the base of their latest project. It's the stairs that come down from the parking lot above the Redondo Pier and head down toward Quality Seafood. It's a monumental work that has taken months from it's inception to the current installation. The artists think that it will take another month before the installation is complete. It's a multicolored work that features a beach theme and is bright and begs to be viewed. We found out about the project at the Redondo Festival and have watched them begin the painstaking task of assembling the elements, attaching them to the screen substrate and now attaching the whole thing to the stairs. It's easiest to find if you ride your bike through the pier and when you emerge at the north end and do the right left turn - it's immediately on your right. We'll let you know when the dedication takes place!
Hazy, overcast skies this morning with 3 miles visibility. Winds are calm and the sea surface is glassy. The air temperature is 61.5° and the water is 67.3°. High tide is at 7:43am +4.2' and low tide will be at 12:46pm +2.7'. The buoy is reading a 2.6' swell out of the SW at 220°. The waves are 1' to 2' and looking pretty unsurfable at high tide. We're still looking for the swell that WetSand said would hit on Sunday. Damn this surf predicting business is tricky.
But we're not giving up. We looked at the
GOES Western US SECTOR Visible Image (the western conus sector) and it looks like there's a definite low pressure in the north eastern Pacific. We're going to go out on a limb and say if this system drops low enough in the next couple of days, we might get some waves in the middle of the week. Lets see how we do!
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
