Almost A Twister Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Sometimes you're thinking, "I could really use a vehicle that preforms when I feel like driving outside the lines." We know the feeling. For your consideration we have this honey of a pickup truck. You wanna drive on the beach? Have at it! You wanna own the 405? No problem! How about a weekend jaunt to Baja (earthquakes and all?) Move over! AND it's for sale! All you have to do is get up to Cascade, Idaho and make an offer... It's right past Grandma's diner on the main road. You can't miss it...
This morning we have clear skies, with just a hint of haze and 20 miles visibility. Winds are offshore by 9.7kts and the sea surface is bumped a bit. The air temperature was a chilly 46.4° at checkout time this morning and the water is also a bit harder at 55.8°. Low tide is at 11:29am +0.4' and high tide will be late at 11:29pm +0.4'. So we're essentially looking at a one-tide day. The buoy is reading a 5.2' swell out of 275° W and we're calling it 3' to 5' and fair shape. With the tide dropping, it's getting edgier and quicker on the inside. Tomorrow might be a good day to check out Rat...
The Professor just hied it back from Idaho last night and they had some pretty great snow in the mountains and some spectacular weather down lower. Our second shot is of a cloudburst, really flattening out everything in it's path. Initially, from a distance this cell looked like incipient tornado, but as you got closer you could see everything poring down and nothing getting sucked up. Considering it's intensity, we're not sure which might have been best...
Finally, three reasons why you never want to get into a card game with Swedish girls. Wait... that would be two Swedish girls and a wild card granddaughter. The "Crazy Swedes" (self named) are on the Boise State Golf Team and joined us for Easter dinner. We played a game called "Spoons" which is the tackle football of card games and the Crazy Swedes taught us all how to swear in Swedish. It was all worth the price of admission...
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
