Kelp Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Our first photo was taken in Costa Rica of this woman harvesting sea turtle eggs. Aren't sea turtles protected? See those white bags in the background? They're all full of sea turtle eggs. This brought some questions to mind: Do they do this every year? How come there are any sea turtles left there? Why do the turtles keep coming back? How many turtle eggs does it take to make a soufflé?
Enough breaks in the overcast to call it partly cloudy, like mostly partly cloudy. 15 miles visibility and lots to see. Winds out of the NW by 5.2kts at checkout and a light chop chattering things up a bit. The air temp was 62.3° and the water is 62.6°, giving us an entire week of temps above 60! Yahoo! Low tide was at 5:24am -1.2' and high tide will follow at 11:59am +4.0'. SSW swell out of 199° and a shameless 3.3' top to bottom. We're calling it 2' to 3' and some fun ones out of the wind.
The Daily Breeze picked up on our kelp fly story and ran with it. You saw it here first. Someone mentioned how close we got to show the density of the flies - but we got even closer than that! This is a portrait of a chaetosydnae larvae. Kinda like looking in the mirror after an especially rugged night...
Remember tonight: Happy hour starts at 5:30 at a new spot, the "1321 Downtown Taproom Bistro" (1321 Sartori Ave. Torrance (Olde)) We'll be munching there before heading to Keegles to see Flashbak. Show starts at 7pm and goes until 9:45, unless we can get them to play just one more...
Also: South Bay 12 - Torrance Beach - First event at around 9am and things go from there. See your favorite watermen/waterwomen in action.
