Everyone Looks Good at the Starting Line Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
The South Bay Surf League Prelims for Shortboards, were held this morning at the Hermosa Pier. Although the surf in the rest of the South Bay wasn't that hot, it was big and fast in Hermosa! Our first pic shows a bit of late takeoff action, on what turned out to be a pretty good wave.
Some fog in spots this morning and cloudy gray conditions. Visibility ranged from an half mile to 5 miles. Winds turned onshore early out of the west at 1.9kts. The sea surface has stayed pretty smooth though, with only a little tack on the outside. The air temperature is 52.2° and the water is not too bad at 59.5°. Watch for that water temp to drop as the incoming swell stirs up some of the cooler bottom strata. High tide is at 6:57am +5.9' and low tide will be at 2:19pm -0.8'. The buoy is reading an increasing swell out of the WSW at 4.6'. In Hermosa it was running from 4' to 7', but it was considerably smaller on the south side of the harbor all the way to the point. If you believe the predictions it could be as big as 18' tomorrow. In that case, look for them to postpone the second half of the prelims until Thursday or Friday. Our guess is that it won't be that big, but it could have some impressive size for this area.
Our second photo is the announcement for Keegan's pub this Friday. Be there or risk being tie-dyed. We noticed there was "no cover." We guessed that was because they took off their pants for the photo. We have a towel in the back of the X-Terrible if you need one...

Apple does it again!
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $4990 to $6990, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them. (we managed to get a photo of the beta model before it was implemented or more accurately implanted! Ed.)
