Tu-Tu Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Last night we took a bike ride to Louey-Louie's and points north. About 6:30 the sun was pancaking into the Pacific and shining under the cloud cover. You'll recall that it rained a good portion of the day, but the sun came out in the last 45 minutes like it had been there all day. Probably, just to get in the eyes of all the west bound drivers on the 10 before they hit the McClure Tunnel...
Apropos of nothing...
As noted by NBC Connecticut, the Bridgeport cheerleaders' plea (to cover their midriffs) comes on the heels of a recent study of college cheerleaders, which found that college cheerleaders whose uniforms exposed midriffs faced a significantly higher risk of developing eating disorders.
(And not frozen navels? Can't be warm in Bridgeport this time of year... Ed.)
Looked like we might get some sun this morning with partly cloudy skies and about 12 miles visibility. Winds were offshore by 5.4kts and they blew the clouds back over the beach. The sea surface was glassy with a bit of roll. The air temperature was 59.1° and the water was an honest 65.1°. So the water felt okay, but the wind was a bit chilly. High tide was at 8:07am +5.6' and low tide will be at 2:09pm +0.6'. The buoy was reading an energetic 5.2' on a 261° swell out of the west. It was 3' to 4' and Topaz and Sappharua were breaking. The dropping tide didn't seem to make a big difference, mostly because the swell was dropping as the tide went out. Let's hope things get inspired this evening and tomorrow has some waves!
