Thanksgiving Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Turkeys out there!  As in the past Thanksgiving doesn't end on Thursday.  Nope, you can slide right into Friday with Murph's "Turkey Hop" (check out the flier.)  Dammit, if we're not always on the road on Friday - but YOU can make it!  We expect a full report...

A beautiful clear day on this Thanksgiving 2009!  25 miles visibility and a bit of low lying haze on the deck.  Winds are offshore by 1.9kts and the sea surface is glassy.  The air temp is 62.6° and the water is also 62.6°.  Low tide is late at 11:32am +1.9' and high tide will follow at 4:59pm +3.5'.  Not much of a dramatic change.  The #46221 buoy is reading a WSW swell out of 239° at 2.3'.  We're calling it 2' to 3' and rising throughout the day.

John wants to sell a new surfboard that he has ridden only twice (practically new.) It is a board by John Carper of Hawaii (???) and is 6'2" X 18.5" x 2.2"
I don't know how much he wants but, maybe you can suggest a price (you are my expert.)
If you know of anyone who would like to see it, please give them my cell # 310-382-6178.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving from Oahu
The surf dropppped today and we will go to Makaha where it is down to 10'.  Yesterday West side was 10 to 20 and North side (way to windy and junky) was 20 to 30.... mostly 15 -20.  The water is 82, the air is 82, and this makes me Happy.  
See you back in Calif next week...I cannot wait to dip my toe into that water.  This N swell holds for 5 more days so the surf in Calif should be good for an extended period.

Lost Boys & Co... P rofessor, This is a shot taken last week at a secret spot that is less than 30 miles away from you guys. Any guesses?  My buddy Dave sent it from Salta Verde Point on the backside of Catalina. Only accessible by boat or if you know someone with the key. Tip: The guy in the pic is the guy with the key! Sea Wolf... S o, apparently if you decide to leave Avalon and head to the backside you might score on a south swell.  For some reason this place looks like there might be some rocks on the inside.  No indications of that other than the boils following the guy with the key... C loudless skies this morning with 20+miles visibility.  Winds were off to 2.2kts and the sea surface had a residual bump that held all day.  The air temperature was 79.3˚ and the water was 66.4˚, apparently affected by the wind and upwelling.  High tide was at 6:55am +3.9' and low tide will be at 11:46am +2.8' for a little less than a foot differential.  There's a SW swell out of

Lost Boys & Co... S ancho, on this morning's Sruf Familia thread said it best, "Somber rainy day for Jimmy."  J immy Buffett died Friday, September 1.  He was 76 years old and had recently been struggling with health issues.  A Lost Boy of the first order his music was the sound-track for our lives. B ut he might have said it best: "But there's one particular harbor/ So far yet so near/ Where I see the days as they fade away/ And finally disappear." S ail on Jimmy Buffett and we hope on the corner of that one particular harbor there's a wave that you can surf through eternity.  Aloha Jimmy... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... W ho's behind those Foster-Grants?  Well, we'll bet that he's NEVER worn a pair of F-G's.  Are those Oliver People's?  Cartier's, Garrett Leight's?  We'll say Tom Ford's and he should be their poster boy.  Yep, it's Jetski in the arena at the US Open.  Looking rather trim in his court-side togs, we're waiting for his description of the action... W e continue our assault on some of the smallest waves ever ridden!  We'll have to check the Guinness book, but we think we're on to something.  So it was ten miles visibility under partly cloudy skies and winds were offshore by 5 to 7kts.  The3 air temp was 63.9º and the water was 70.7º at the ever popular #46221 Santa Monica Buoy.  High tide was at 11:01am +5.5' and low tide follows at 4:52pm +0.7'.  It turns out we observed that low tide and even with the afternoon south wind howling around 10kts, Sapphire still looked fairly smooth.  We had a south swell out o
