ANOTHER Tequila Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Not sure we have to explain, but apparently you can have two Tequila Tuesdays in one week.  It all started with the Professor giving Danger boy a ride home from the Hawthorne version of Earl Scheib, nominally known in Lawndale/Hawthorne as Errol Chaib.  The Professor finding himself out of the bubble, ran out of oxygen and wheezed himself into a hacking, clattering coughing fit.  Upon reaching the Fortress of Danger, Danger Boy allowed that he had just the remedy and produced a brand new bottle of "Chamuca" an especially potent añejo cough suppressant.  Almost miraculously, the Professor's cough disappeared, taking wing like "the buzzard god who copulates in midair with the souls of dying virgins."  Danger Boy offered another dram for good measure and the Professor left healed, sealed and delivered...  Except he couldn't remember what day it was...

Rained about 4am this morning and the clouds hung around for some part of the day, leaving room for about 15 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore and stayed that way all day, blowing at 7.2kts at checkout, roughing the surface up a bit.  The air temperature was 59.5˚ and the water was 63.1˚.  High tide was at 9:10am +6.0' and low tide will be at 4:25pm -0.2'.  We have a WSW swell out of 257˚ at 2.0' and the surf was 1' to 2' all along the southern hook of the bay.

Electrical anomalies caused Brother's Burritos to stay shuttered this morning, so Tio Ted, Danger Boy and the Professor broke through the bubble and breakfasted in far-off Culver City.  Their destination:  Ronnie's Diner.  Much like Brother's there was some rich local color present (like the out-of-focus diner behind DB and TC, who hacked as the Professor was getting ready to take this shot and scared the snot out of him and the patrons at this end of the room.  She was still in her Smart & Final apron and was no doubt in a lather to get back behind the scanner.  When she noticed she didn't have a fork, she said loudly, "What's a restaurant without a fork!"  To wit we replied, "Kinda like Smart & Final without a pissed off cashier..." )

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
