I Gotta A Fly In My Margarita Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Sometimes it takes two pics to tell the whole story...  It all started when Rasta Pete and Jimmy Thomas were holding up the east wall of the Sea Sprite to get a little sun.  Then Danger Boy and the Professor thought that it looked like a good idea, so they joined them.  It wasn't two minutes and James Wheatley came pedaling up and jumped in the line-up.  Ivan from Brother's thought it made a good photo so he came out to record the event.  When Kevin and Glen showed up, it was a natural, so in order of appearance:  Danger Boy, Ivan Fernandes, Jimmy Thomas, Rasta Pete, The Professor, Kevin Hannon and Glen Murray (Rob Blake usually joins Kevin and Glen but his wife is having a baby and we all agreed the waves weren't that good.)  (Photo 2:  Wheatley)

Against all odds, the sun came out this morning just like it meant it.  15 miles visibility with a bit of light haze.  Winds were calm at checkout and not too hard throughout the morning.  The sea surface was smooth with a bit of roll.  The air temp was 62.3° and the water was 64.0°.  The sun made it nice, but it wasn't warm in the shady areas.  High tide was at 8:47am +4.8' and low tide will follow at 2:17pm +1.6'.  Tide notwithstanding, we have a SSW swell out of 202° at 3.0'.  We're going to call it 3' to 4', but we watched Danger Boy catch one that was trying to displace his hat and he was standing nice and tall in there...  Lots of fun...

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
