Lost Boys & Co...

Prof...
Not completely up on the telenovelas, but the beautiful one is Lola, la Madre de Estrellitas;  she is the power behind, knows all, controls everything from the US border to Central America; the other beautiful younger woman is Susita, her long lost, but recently returned daughter.  Susita  ran off with the Sultan of Brunei, but it didn't work out.  After that she spent years working in a Swiss convent where she cared for the daughters of plutocratic refugees who were compelled to leave their home countries pronto. . .
Paverito...  
 (Yes! and #3 is the glamorous Yvonne, whose entry into the United States stock market rocked the NASDAQ for weeks.  She is the secret owner behind several multinational corporations and uses her power philanthropically and wisely, except when she gets pissed off...   Ed.)

Speaking of Susita, today just happens to be her b-day!  Happy birthday Suzanne!  (Rumors abound that she'll be hanging at Patrick Malloy's this evening, rockin' the beach and greeting her fans...   Ed.)

Another hot day.  17 miles visibility under clear skies, with occasional foggies trying to roll on-shore.  Winds out of the north at checkout by 3.5kts and the sea surface was smooth to glassy.  The air temp was 70.7° and the water is sweet at 70.2°.  High tide was at 9:29am +5.1' and low tide will follow at 3:08pm +1.1'.  Over the next week tides begin to fluctuate pretty wildly.  Swell is changing, but at checkout we had a west swell out of 268° at 2.6' and it was trying to happen, slappin' yo' mama at about 2'.  Should swing a bit further south throughout the day and increase in size.

Continuing with the telenovela theme we feature Don Francisco "Paco" Dali-Salvador, owner of the Rancho de las Estrellas.  His lands stretch as far as you can see and the most interesting man in the world rents a bungalow from him.  In the last installment he was locked in a battle with the US, Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador because his land bordering the ocean has it's own 300 mile limit.

Happy hour Friday at Samba!  Ride your bike and we'll ride to MB after the hora feliz...

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
