Tamarack Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

We got some cool stuff for X-mas, but nothing quite as cool as these abominable snowman/yeti underwear.  They're flannel and have that single button fly, that always comes in handy...

We're in Idaho, with the northern fam, but we're watching the surf and it looks like it's still waiting to get bigger.  Right now we're reading a west swell out of 275° at 2.3'.  That should begin to change soon.  The air temperature was 53.3° and the water is holding at 58.8°.  Winds were out of the NE by 3.2kts and the sea surface is smooth...  Waiting...

Wishing you a very happy and prosperous 2012 !!
Your new Mayan calender will arrive in the mail shortly.
Its the nifty kind with a magnet on back so you can hang it on the fridge...modern Mayans have since improved upon 
the 2 ton slab of rock they used 23,000 years ago...thank the Gods !!
They are also displaying a variety of Mayan realtors on the calender in case you would like to sell your house to the
one person in America that can still buy a house.
I've been very busy preparing for massive earthquakes, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, the arrival of the anti-christ and the closing of Sears...
maybe you think that's a bit radical but...what if the History channel is right ?? (I'd rather not fight the crowd for the last pair of Air Jordon's just
before the rapture)
And if by any chance the Milky Way does suck us all into it's center I'd like to say thank you for all the chuckles and laughs
I've enjoyed while reading your emails !!!

(And YOU!  Your emails always bring a smile to our salt-encrusted faces!  We always wanted to see things at the center of the universe!   Ed.)

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
