Ran Aground Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

The sleep of the vanquished...  We'd have more photos, but it turns out our new computer is so different that we haven't figured out how to properly download and keep our information...  Working on it...

Meanwhile the surf has dropped, the humidity has increased and no one is taking "no" for an answer.  Cloudy this morning with 15 miles visibility.  Winds were calm and the sea surface was glassy.  The air temperature was 73.8º and the water was an incredible 74.1º.  High tide was at 10:11am +5.6' and low tide will be at 4:53pm +0.4'.  We have a SW swell out of 230º at 3.3' and it was 2' to 3' with some quick little rights and lefts that were worth the trouble.  Face it, when the air is in the 80's and the water is in the 70's it's time to go in.  The unbelievable part of that, is that it's happening HERE...

So, we have a couple of days left this week and we're getting ready to take off for points south for a couple of weeks.  The Barahona Brothers have thrown the El Salvadorian borders open and we're going to fly in and do some reconnoitering...  that's another word for surfing.  All this means is that the report will be sporadic to unavailable for the next couple of weeks.  Scheduled date of return 11/03/15.  Interesting crew heading down including Capt. Donnie, Tarzan Leko and Mexico Mike Murphy.  

For those who would like to join in an happy hour on Friday, we have narrowed it down to the Mermaid.  Why?  Because it's too hot to go inside anywhere and it's not going to rain...  Ride you bike and get some excessive exercise as well...  Keep it in low gear...

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
