Silk Tie Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Vinny caught this skim boarder on a roundhouse back into the sand a couple of weeks ago.  He also sent a correction on our third photo yesterday...
"Third photo.....well i know anyway that that dude there can only be the Cormaster "Cory" getting it on! a good looking right at Topaz!!"

More rain today and more rain yet to come.  Visibility is 2 miles and the clouds are low and getting rid of all that moisture.  It does kinda make it seem like Christmas, California style.  Winds have been calm all day and the sea surface is smoothed by the rippling rain.  As it rains harder, the drops set up a ringing in the water, that sound a bit like something out of Star Wars.  The air temperature was 53.3° at checkout and the water is 58.1°.  High tide was at 8:17am +6.6' and low tide will be at 3:39pm -1.2'.  The swell is coming out of WSW 252° at 4.6' and we're calling it 4' to 5' with some nicely brushed, rain burnished faces.  Of course if you're worried about the bacteria, probably not your day.  However, the gutters and drains are running clear...  Your call...

In the mail:
Thanks for coming to the contest.  Next time we will definitely add a half point for each decade per wave.  In the picture, there is also Chucky Rigano and Kawika Ching. That is a tough team to beat but hopefully in April a new champion will be engraved on the cup.
Thanks, Duncan
(Geez, no shame to lose a contest to a team like that!  We'll be there in April racking up some big decades points!   Ed.)

I have a 9'4" MacTavich Stylist Tuf Lite epoxy for sale. I asking $450.00, nice condition.  Its on the rack at Open Ocean in RB. I'll sent a couple more pics. Let me know if you know anyone looking. Cheers!
Thank you, Robert Stassi

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
