Mosquito Monday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
We ran across this sign in Boise. They take great pride in "truth in advertising" in this part of the country...
Another great-gray-glorious day here in the southland. An excellent example of the "June Gloom." 7 miles visibility, under overcast skies. Winds are out of the SSW at 3.4kts and the sea surface is slightly hacked, like not quite a chop, but disorganized ripples. The air temperature is 60.5° and the water has jumped an unbelievable 4° to 62.1°! Of course this leaves us wondering what the hell is going on. Just this Saturday we were told that several reliable predictors were calling for another cold summer, citing the chilling 1970-71 summers as having the same indicators. 62 isn't great but it beats the hell out of 58. High tide is at 8:51am +3.7' and low tide will be at 1:32pm +1.8'. The buoy is reading a SW swell out of 220° at 2.6' and we're calling a high tide bloated 1' to 2' and poor to fair. Maybe a little better when the tide shifts a bit. Watch the wind...
A long #2 shot of what we thought were lemmings, then they turned out to be swimmers in the first leg of the triathlon they had on Sunday. We only caught the swimming leg of the race. We ran back got our boards and hit it before they opened the Esplanade and Catalina back up. Actually kept some peeps out of the water...
