Terry Cloth Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

So, here it is the 22nd of October and our almanac tells us that it's both Genevieve Carlisle's and Boomfwappa's birthdays!  Well, happy birthday to them!  We managed to get this beach themed photo of Genevieve, sporting what was then a rather risque suit.  Turns out, that this two piece is older than Boomfwappa...

Overcast this morning breaking into hazy sun with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were out of the SW(234˚) by 2kts and the sea surface was lightly ruffled.  The air temperature was 60.9˚ and the water was 65.8˚.  High tide was at 11:11am +5.6' and low tide will be at 6:28pm +0.4'.  We have a weak SW swell out of 243˚ at 2.0' and it's 1' and poor again.  It's supposed to get better tomorrow...  Jimmy Thomas said...

From Capt. Donnie in Puerto Escondido (re: hurricane Raymond)...
Frank:  Yes the storm is about 300 miles up the coast and we got rain and a great lightning show.  The surf has been big and somewhat mixed up.  A nasty wind swell.  the point has been fun but a little crowded in the late morning.  The storm is suposed to move offshore tomorrow and that will help the surf clean up we hope.  Still hot and sunny with warm water.  Comming home Fri. night but leaving Mon. morning for Hawaii.  See you guys around the middle of Nov.  Happy surfing, Adios, Donaldo 

And to help with your personal quest to better yourself we have...
The first installment of "5 Things the Most Successful People Do Before 8 in the Morning"
1.   Exercise. Most people that work out daily, work out in the morning. Whether it's a morning yoga session or a trip to the gym, exercising before work gives you a boost of energy for the day and that deserved sense of accomplishment. Anyone can tackle a pile of paperwork after 200 ab reps! Morning workouts also eliminate the possibility of flaking out on your cardio after a long day at work. Even if you aren't bright eyed and bushy tailed at the thought of a 5 am jog, try waking up 15 minutes early for a quick bedside set of pushups or stretching. It'll help wake up your body, and prep you for your day.

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
