Summer Solstice Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Well, summer came flying in low at 10:16am PDT this morning and tipped it's wings before disappearing into the mist enshrouded Palos Verdes Alps. This is what the first day of summer is supposed to look like here in the So. Bay (just in case you were worried.)
Just like the photos show, we have a low overcast and 10 miles visibility. Supposed to clear up around 1pm and be mostly sunny the rest of the day. Winds were out of the NW at checkout by 3.4kts and the sea surface was smooth with a slight ripplation. The air temperature was 63.2° and the water is 63.0°. Low tide is at 8:04am +0.5' and high tide will be at 3:03pm +4.2'. The buoy is reading a SSW swell out of 199° at 2.3', but we're calling it 1' and poor. Okay, maybe there are a couple of two-footers, but not many... WetSand was suggesting that we might get a little action later in the week, so we'll keep looking... and looking... and
Okay, photo #3 is a young man holding a little baby. Geez, that's not really much to go on...
Actually, the young man is Kellen Moore and the baby is Lily Panda Cheeseburger. Still not too happy?
Okay, so Kellen Moore is the quarterback for the Boise State University Broncos, who were one-shy from having an undefeated season last year in the WAC. (The only thing you might know about this, is that they have a BLUE football field.) He is a BIG deal in Boise. There is no truth to the rumor that he threw the baby for a first down or that he spiked her when they scored...
Lily is the reason the Professor is a GREAT-grandfather. Otherwise he'd be so-so... She is sporting the Boise colors of blue and orange. On game day it looks like Union Oil has taken over the city...
We're trying to get the results of the Rock to Rock Paddleboard race, but they aren't on the website yet!
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
