Third Dimension Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

We often look at things the same way for so long, that it's hard to look at them differently.  We tried with this view of the RB pier.

Another spectacular day here in the Southland.  Clear skies and 20+ miles visibility.  Winds were calm and the sea surface had the slightest roll to an otherwise glassy surface.  The air temp was a balmy 68.7° and the water wasn't at 63.0°.  It feels pretty damned chilly when your body is all toasty and you hit that 63° heat sink.  High tide was at 8:20am +4.5' and low tide will follow at 1:37pm +2.0'.  We have a SSW swell out of 207° at 2.3'.  The surf is a pretty 1' to 2' and if there was some way to pump it up we would.  Current swell predictions are pretty dismal for the next week.  The hurricane off Mexico disassociated and the Gulf of Alaska is still waiting to start cranking up for the fall.  After two days of sunshine we're betting that tomorrow will probably be cloudy and cooler...  Still there's some summer left and we won't give it up just yet...

Remember:  Friday evening:  Flashbak at Keegan's 7pm to 10pm. 
                    Saturday 4pm:  Pig Roast at the Professor & LoLa's.  Someone asked if there was going to be anything else to eat.  Look, there's going to be an entire f'n pig.  You can come for the yucca d' ajo, the beans or the garlic bread, but the piggy is the main event.  For those who are vegans it is acceptable to eat things with faces IF they have an apple in them...

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
