Third Class Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Small but crowded this morning.  If there's good news, it's that Morgan got her new board from José and it works just like she imagined!  Hell, they never work like you imagine - okay, so it worked better than she imagined!  Of course it's six inches longer...  Hmmm, we're not going there...

Hazy sun this morning and call it what you will, but it's an Indian summer right out of old Calcutta...  No wind at checkout and glassy seas.  So clear you can see the sting rays at 12' flying in formation - they learned it from the pelicans...  The air temp is 71.4˚ and the water was 76˚ posted on the pier.  High tide was at 7:36am +4.6' and low tide will follow at 1:03pm +1.8'.  We have a SSW swell out of 207˚ at 2.6' and it was 2' with some odd three-footers and fun to funner...

Happy hour tomorrow night at the Professor and LoLa's.

Probability of Danger Boy sighting:  GOOD!
Bring an instrument.  Okay - a musical instrument.  Last time LoLa brought a Bard-Parker...

Subliminal advertising used to consist of the ad companies for liquor brands airbrushing skulls on fake ice cubes to make it seem more dangerous and adventurous.  This particular bus stop advert made us laugh until we had to reach for the asthma inhaler.  We've been assured that this is not the typical focus of pyramid energy, but the Luxor has been packed for weeks now...

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
