Fine Line Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Our editor wouldn't work yesterday, so we couldn't download the photos from our "Lost Brother's" tour of downtown.  Gathered at the 6th St. Tavern were Tio Ted, Lauri, Ronnie, Danger Girl, Marcy and LoLa working on the toasted cheese sandwich...  Thanks again to "Tarzan" Leko...(Photo:  Barry Santos for the LA Weakly)

Cloudy skies with 9 miles visibility.  Maybe it'll break in the pm, but no promises.  Winds out of the NW 302° at 2.2kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 61.2° and the water is holding at 66.0°.  Low tide was at 7:31am +3.3' and high tide follows at 1:30pm +4.4'.  We have a SW swell out of 219° at 2.3' and it's not turning the corner.  1' to 2' and poor, but maybe mañana...

1.   Visualization. These days we talk about our physical health ad nauseam, but sometimes our mental health gets overlooked. The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind meditating or visualizing. Take a moment to visualize your day ahead of you, focusing on the successes you will have. Even just a minute of visualization and positive thinking can help improve your mood and outlook on your work load for the day.
End of the week blues?  How about Kincaid's at 5:15pm for happy hour?  Walk, ride your bike or stroll from your car in the lot...

The best cure for sea sickness, is to sit under a tree.

Photo #2 is a portrait of the "Black Dahlia" that resides on the west wall of King Eddy's.  It provides a rather haunting visage dominating the west wall.  Still a work in progress, King Eddy's Saloon, should be fully operational sometime next year?  Great the way it is/was, it's going to get better - lots...  We'll let you know...

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
