Movable Feast Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

So if you didn't get the memo about the 4th, then you're probably going to miss this as well.  But we're half-full kind of guys...
So look...
Pig Roast
Sunday, July 15th, 4pm
Professor and LoLa's house:  516 Paseo de las Estrellas, RB  90277
If you're in the mood bring an appetizer or a dessert...
If not - that's okay too...
If you play an instrument bring that.
The thumb piano is an instrument...

Surfing is going to the dogs...
(Going for the low hanging fruit here...   Ed.)

Foggy in the earlier am, getting partly cloudy early and then full sun after 9:30am.  Hawk was blowing from the get-go 4.1kts out of the WSW, with a bit of light chop.  The air temperature was a cool 61.0° and the water was a disappointing 64.4°, but with the sun a shorty is in order.  Low tide at 8:00am +0.9' and high tide washes in at 2:52pm +4.7'.  #46221 has a SW swell out of 216° mixing with a slight north for a 3.0' bump.  That was about it 3' and pretty fun.

Mark the Poolman, the Professor and Buffalo Kevin Holmes.  Buffalo didn't get the memo about not smiling.  They were there for a shoot of old guys who still wear Wayfarers™.   They'll be at the pig roast...

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
