Just A Little Pissed Off Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Our cable service has sucked over the last week!  In the last 5 days we have just been able to send out a report.  Called Time/Warner and hoping the tech they're sending over will have an answer...  Please...

So, it would have been a full-moon Monday if we had sent a report.  One of the advantages of getting up at O'Dark-Thirty is that you get to catch some of these captivating celestial events...

The sky is partly cloudy and we have about 10 miles visibility.  Wind was on-shore at checkout, blowing lightly at 1.8kts and leaving a bit of bump on the waters.  The air temp was 58.5˚ and the water at the buoy was 60.4˚.  We have to report that at the Hermosa Pier, Lottie the Lifeguard had just posted a 64˚ on the board.  64˚!  What global warming?  Low tide is at 6:25am +0.3' and high tide will follow at 12:30pm +3.6'.  We have a west swell out of 265˚ at 2.3' and it's 1' to 2' and not looking too deluxe.

Oh yeah, it's the Vernal Equinox...  Don't worry these things even out.  

Now it could have been a Happy St. Patrick's Day Monday as well.  Here we have the crew waiting for the Hermosa St. Paddy's Day parade to begin.  From L to R it's LoLa, Miss Lilly (who insisted on wearing pink), Rebecca, CoCo Noodle-Sorensen, Monroe, and Javan-the-Snowboarder.

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
