White Russian Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

We discovered too late that we mis-numbered our pics in the last surf report.  #3 should be #1, #1 should be #2 and #2 should be #3.  In doing this we are aware that this really makes it more complicated than just being wrong in the first place.

Today's #1 is Matt Parker.  You might remember Matt from the early days of the surf league at Bishop Montgomery.  He has turned into a seasoned big wave charger and is regularly on the short list for biggest waves ridden in the South Bay.  Professionally, he raises mushrooms for the restaurant trade.  His company is called "Shiitake Happens."  No shiitake...

Mostly clear this morning with 20+ miles visibility.  Winds were offshore by 5.5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was still chilly at 41.5 and the water is back to 58.3.  High tide is at 7:13am +5.7' and low tide was at 2:23pm -0.6'.  We had a greatly diminished swell at 5.9' from 272º west, but there were still some nice stacks from 4' to 6'...  A tad smaller mañana, then stronger going into the weekend...

This Friday's Happy Hour will convene at 5:30 on the patio at the Shade Hotel next to the Redondo Cheesecake Factory.  Dress warmly or don't dress at all...

Too matchy-matchy?  Well, okay a bit, but cute.  Elena and Jetski fresh from their trip to Vegas...

Finally, our question regarding #3 is:  How many women do you think work in the establishment in which this bathroom resides?  A: 7  B: 2 C: 0
The correct answer is C: 0.  We will not reveal the name of this business, but suffice to say that they are some of the best auto mechanics in the South Bay.  If cleanliness is next to godliness, then they should send missionaries here...

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
