Mun (Moon) Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Here we have a pic of Mun and the Professor sharing a laugh last Monday night.  Mun bought "Halibut Corner" from Anthony, who had bought "Louey Louie's" from Dave Lechworth.  She's calling it the "Corner Pub" but we think it ought to be "Moon's Pacific Rim Café."  The crew is down there most every Monday evening at 6:15pm sharp.  Ride your bike close and it's your kind of place if you're into Mexican/Vietnamese/Korean fusion grinds. The best Bi Bim Bap east of Seoul!  Next to Naja's on the International Boardwalk, Redondo Pier.

We can't remember when we've seen this many summer days end to end.  Not even during, well... summer!  Clear skies and over 20+ miles visibility.  Winds blew offshore all morning to 6kts and the sea surface was slightly nicked, but smooth all the same.  The air temperature was 53.6˚ and the water was 59.2˚.  High tide was at 6:49am +6.7' and low tide will be at 2:04pm -1.2'.  Some big tide shifts all this week!  We have a WSW swell out of 237˚ at 2.3' and the surf is in the 2' to 3' range, but you have to be there at the right moment to catch it rideable...  Keep watching...

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
