Mesalliance Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

South Carolina Surf  Report:
1-3 ft., choppy & windy at The Washout, Folly Beach, South Carolina, for the Wahine Classic.  The picture shows  a competitor in an afternoon heat, and I do mean heat...about 90 degrees with 85% humidity on the beach.  I've been assured by a couple of locals that it does get good here especially before a hurricane strikes!
In keeping with Lost Boy tradition, I've also attached a shot of a Charleston storm sewer cover.
We are gettin' some fine Gullah and Low Country food and culture...bring on the grits!

On our own coast, overcast with 7 miles visibility.  Looks like it might clear late morning to early afternoon.  Winds were onshore from the get-go, 3.9kts at checkout with a light surface chop.  The air temperature was 62.2° and the water jumped into the 60's at 62.4°.  High tide was at 6:53am +3.1' and low tide will be at 11:49am +1.8'.  The 46221 buoy is reading a W swell out of 269° at 3.9' and we're calling it 3' to 5' at Topaz with some thick ones coming through.  Some of the outsides were designed to put a bit of pucker in your back pocket region.  It's fair to good, but the wind was making it a bit bumpy.

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
