Lost Boys & Co...
Well, we know of one sure-fire way to fuck-up a view... Add a dredge to it. Last Thursday evening we were rolling along the bike path and were watching Donnie Souther & Co. round the bell buoy and thinking how absolutely idyllic it was. Then this morning on our way down to check on the surf we stumbled upon this sight. They've finally moved the dredge to the pumping site on the north side of the Topaz jetty and are getting prepared to do some serious sucking... Yeah, it sucks alright. The last time they did this it was almost four years until it broke and then it wasn't like it used to be. Guess nothing ever is...
Yet another gorgeous day with some high clouds and 15 miles visibility. (No, mike it isn't always like this...) Winds were calm at checkout and the sea surface was glassy. The air temperature was 71.2° and the water was a delightful 68.5°. Low tide was at 5:53am +0.9' and high tide is at 12:21pm +5.5'. The 46221 Buoy is currently out of service, but by careful triangulation we have determined that we have a SSW swell out of 213° at 4.3'. Because of it's acute angle we still only managed 1' to 2' wave activity, but there were some fun ones! Check mañana - could be some little ones on the rising tide!
