Martin Luther King Monday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Who are these people and what are they doing at Keegan's? Actually, we can tell you. Up to this moment, when someone took the photo, they had been dancing to Flashback. Yes, this is the same Flashback that was the Wrynkles, Ronnie and the Heroes and four parts of sixteen other bands. We have been asked by the Legion of Decency, to not name the participants. The Flashbacks will flash back to Keegan's on the 29th for you listening and dancing pleasure.
Stormier than shit this morning. At checkout time the visibility was about 7 miles and it was cloudy with a light rain. By ten or eleven o'clock the wind kicked up seriously and was blowing between 25 and 30kts. The sea is now covered with whitecaps and the rain is falling horizontally. Not exactly an example of virga, since upon hitting something it flows to the ground. The air temperature is 52.4° and the water is 58.6°, due to drop with the upwelling and the accompanying wind. High tide is at 10:11am +5.0' and low tide will be at 5:03pm +0.1'. The buoy is recording a 4.3' swell out of the WSW 245°. The waves are currently in the 3' to 5' range and looking remarkably photogenic, as the Professor demonstrates in our second shot. What you can't see in this still are the fantastic manes on the waves and the crazy longshore drift moving north along the beach.
More wind and rain predicted so batten down the hatches, get warm and snuggy and heat that cocoa to about 180°. Add a shot of peppermint schnapps and you'll be ready for the afternoon!
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
