Sea's The Day Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

1.  Pre-Pig Roast, Bill Balcer, DB & Ché warm up with some linguica sandwiches...

Yet another chilly morning with 20+ miles visibility and a few high clouds.  Winds were offshore by 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 48.1º and the water was 62.8º.  Low tide was at 9:14am +2.1' and high tide will follow at 2:38pm +3.8'.  We have a weak west swell out of 257º at 2.6' and it was on the small side of 2' to 3'.  Forecast says there should be some better waves starting Sunday...  We're waiting

Happy Hour (in name only this week) will be at "Ortega 120" at 5pm.  1814 S. Pacific Coast Hwy. between PV Blvd. and Prospect.  The plan is to hoist a few to the memory of Danger Boy and then proceed to the Vigil at 7pm.  They are rumored to have an excellent tequila bar...

2.  Ronnie, Wheatley, Tio Ted, Danger Boy and Ché obviously up to something.  DB is the only one who can't keep a straight face...

3.  A day at the races, courtesy of Brother's Burritos.  Ivan, Michelle, LoLa, Danger Girl, Buck and Danger Boy.  By the end of the evening they were all professional handicappers and were most likely the real reason Holly Park had to shut down...

4. Talking board design, beer temp and wave quality with Captain Donaldo at the Becker/Mangiagli Factory Pig Roast.

5.  One of our faves...  When the hockey players started coming into Brothers (Rob Blake, Glenn Murray etc.)  they started to warm to the local crew.  When someone called for a group shot, THEY asked US if they could be in the photo!  They were like, "Hey, we can be like locals, eh!"  (Danger Boy, Ivan, Jimmy Utah, Irie Pete, the Professor, Glenn and Rob Blake)

6.  El Salvador has a reputation for being a violent place.  On the way to the Metapan soccer game, Sam decided she'd be packing something that would be effective in a crowd situation.  Danger Boy said that armament was only half the equation.  The other half was your "game face."  He demonstrates...

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
