Then There's This Thursday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Wait a minute... That looks like the Lost Boy formerly known as Sully... Hey, that IS Sully! A new slimmed down, cycling maniac of a Sully. We caught him as he pumped up the hill on his way to San Pedro. That's your basic 35 mile round trip. Whoa, making the rest of us look a bit sedentary!
It's all out there this morning... sun, fog, clouds, everything. Oh, yeah, and they're calling for thunder showers this afternoon! At checkout, Redondo and Hermosa were socked in with visibility down to ½ mile in some of the lower regions. Winds were variable, on-shore to 5.7kts and the sea surface, when you could see it, was smooth. The air temp was a close 68.1° with 83% humidity and the water was 65.5° with the humidity at 100%. Basically one tide today, high at 2:13pm +5.0'. A big arc, with no dips until late p.m. Buoy tells us that it's 2.6', but Hermosa is in the 4' range and the Avenues are 1' to 3'. There are wave hungry hard-cases out there, but it's not looking deluxe... Tomorrow?...
Mission Blue
The National Geographic Society, the Waitt Foundation, and the SEAlliance, along with strategic government, private, scientific, and conservation partners—including the TEDPrize, Google, and IUCN—are beginning an action-oriented marine conservation initiative. Under the banner "Mission Blue," this multi-year, global partnership initiative is aimed at restoring health and productivity to the ocean by inspiring people to care and act, reducing the impact of fishing, and promoting the creation of marine protected areas (MPAs).Our planet depends on the vitality of the ocean to support and sustain it. But our ocean faces major threats: global climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species, and, not least, the dramatic decrease in ocean fish stocks now so extensive that more than 40 percent of the ocean has been severely affected and no area has been left untouched. Species are disappearing and entire ecosystems are degraded, especially those near the coasts. Consequently, humanity is losing a source of food, jobs, and critical environmental services that a healthy ocean generates. Recognizing the need for an urgent response, a new coalition of committed communities is coming together to take action.This growing, collaborative effort will promote the expansion of proven, replicable, and scalable solutions, as well as new, cutting-edge ideas from fisheries policymakers, the seafood industry, and local fishing/coastal communities.People have the ability to make history and create positive change. Show your support today by joining I Am the Ocean.

With every breath we take, every drop of water we drink, we're connected to the ocean. It is our life support system, giving us more than half of the oxygen we breathe, regulating climate, and providing valuable resources. I Am the Ocean is a global call to action with a goal to raise public awareness, start conversations, and inspire people to help protect this vital natural resource.
