Wistful Wednesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Going for a rather dramatic turn on the dance floor, Danger Boy gives Tamara a spin during the father-daughter dance at Tamara's wedding. We need to report that the Ball family & friends made a great showing on the floor with the Flores family dancers. Even during a couple of the traditional Mexican numbers, there were some great moves on both sides of the aisle. Olé!
Chilly, cooler and clammy this morning as we opened the doors to the lanai on the 11th floor of the Topaz International Trump Tower Suite. 4 miles visibility, with overcast and some creeping foggies (and some creeping fogies!) Winds are onshore by 5.5kts and the sea surface has a definite tack going. The air temperature was 58.3° at checkout and the water was a dismal 61.5°. Really only one tide today at 2:51pm +5.0', however if you feel inclined to check it out at 11:26pm you can see a late 1.0' low tide. We currently have a 2.6' swell out of the SSW 205° and it's hitting the beaches at a 1' knee slapping surge. Not good for surfing today... but if you're out paddling, keep following the bell and you should easily find the buoy at the entrance to King Harbor... you're on your own from there...
Pic #2 caught a few of the locals out enjoying the beach concert in Hermosa last Sunday. Dave and Liz look like they're catching the last few rays of the day and we see Blake and Diane Cole a row or two behind. The Professor & LoLa were in the cheap seats down around 8th St.
Finally, when they call the men in the white suits, you don't always have to be alarmed. In this case it was José in his patented "airbrush" suit. He can lay a pin-line down faster than anybody we know! By the time he got finished with taping and airbrushing the Professor's board, it looked like a stealth bomber!
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
