Fudge Factor Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

You're walking along minding your own business and you suddenly realize there are creatures staring at you from the rock wall.  If you gotta have a wall, then it might as well have a little pizazz!  There were various animals and scenes all along the wall and we were told that it went all the way around the property.  Even the chimney had a stony sunrise coming up over the roof...

Cloudy this morning with occasional showers and drizzlations.  5 miles visibility.  Winds are offshore by 5.2kts and the sea surface is smooth to glassy.  The air temp has warmed up considerably to 50.4° and the water is 59.4°, which is still warmer than the air.  High tide is at 5:10am +5.8' and low tide will follow at 12:15pm +0.3'.  We have a 4.6' swell out of 263° W.  The waves are having trouble getting through the current high tide, but it looks like if the tide drops we could get some sneakers at most breaks.  Check it out when you can...

Re:  Sympathies & Fallen Trees

Our thoughts and prayer go out to Gigi and family.
On a second note, I hope they put a new tree up quick! That house on Calle Mayor is quite an eyesore!

(Yes, thoughts and prayers to GiGi & Family and TJ & Family as well.  As far as the fallen tree goes, they did cut it down after it failed to right itself...  Ed.)

Re:  Historical Home

Did you not get a picture of the Historical Landmark marker?  Does it actually say "Boomfwappa" on it???

(No mention of Boomfwappa.  We thought it was an "Hysterical" marker!   Ed.)

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
