Woof Woof Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

You unroll these mozzarella "string" cheeses and you end up with a strand that's about 9' long.  Tasty, fresh and fun they're great for an afternoon snack or to wind up your tlayuda...

We had 15 miles visibility at checkout this morning under partly cloudy skies.  Rain is predicted for this evening, tomorrow and possibly Friday.  Winds were calm and so were you.  The sea surface was smooth with a slight roll.  The air temperature was 52.5˚ and the water was 56.3˚.  Low tide is at 11:44am -0.3' and high tide will be at 6:23pm +3.7'.  We have a WSW swell out of 243˚ at 3.3' on the buoy.  It's about 3+ feet at Hermosa and varies from there...  The tide will have it's way and the winds are almost a lock on the afternoon...  Let's see what the weather brings!

Keegan's this Friday, if you're at odds-ends.  7pm to 10pm.  No host, no lessons, no line dancing...

Any time we have a question about the future, we always head to PaddyPower.  Wether it's a presidential election, horse race, pageant or picking a new Pope, they always have the latest line on the educated possibilities.  Now you'll understand this is all in fun and not for wagering purposes, but there are those who insist on blurring those lines.  So, as of this morning here are the front runners:

Turkson (Ghana) 11-4
Scola (Italy) 3-1
Ouellet (Canada) 6-1
Bertone (Italy) 6-1
Bagnasco (Italy) 8-1
Sandri (Argentina) 12-1

To put this all in perspective, in the last election for the last Pope, Joseph Ratzinger (Germany) the eventual winner was 20-1.  Our fave is the Brazilian, Braz de Aviz at 66-1, kind of a longshot.  The highest American contender (even if it sounds like he's from Ireland) is Cardinal O'Malley at 33-1.  Okay, make your pick!  Praying is allowed...

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
