Magyar Monday Surf & Culture Report

Our photo this morning is of a gigantic orange-red jelly fish caught off of Japan. These things are about as big as refrigerators and weight around 450lbs. They are getting to be a real nuisance, since they caught in nets and sting the fish that are in there, rendering them inedible. The jellyfish have been migrating farther north following increasingly warmer water. This used to happen about every ten years and now it's happening almost every year. We could take care of this by simply coming up with better recipes for jellyfish. How about peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches?

A beautiful day today (and so are you!) 25 miles visibility under a cloudless sky and there's not even much marine haze to get in the way. Winds are offshore by 9.3kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temperature is 54.8° and the water is comparatively warmer at 62.4°. High tide is at 7:55am +6.6' and low tide will be at 3:07pm -0.8'. The 46221 buoy is reading a 2.3' swell out of the SW at 224°. 2.3' sounds a lot more hopeful than it looks. We're calling it 1' to 2' and pretty, but poor.
Some good surf this weekend. We surfed Hermosa on Saturday before the Coastal Division Surf Meet that pitted the Bishop Montgomery Surfing Knights against their sworn adversaries from Narbonne, North/West, Peninsula and San Pedro. The B-mers actually did pretty well and took top honors for the second time in as many contests. Their next meet will be on Wednesday against an opponent and at a location to be announced (don't worry we'll let YOU know!) On Sunday we checked things out in Hermosa with SeaWolf and Sting Ginther. Sting left us to our devices and we managed to snag some nice high-tide rollers. SeaWolf was worried that he might be good for only one wave, after such a relatively long hiatus. But his hiatus wasn't as long as he thought and to top it off it didn't even get in the way. He caught some nice rights and looked like he was having his share of fun. Of course, the hardest part of surfing is getting in and out of the long suits. The Professor has taken to using a shoe horn to get his new suit off and SeaWolf thought the entire process was like being born twice each session (or maybe like being born and then crawling back in...)
