Mar Y Fuego Friday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

First things first...  A Happy Birthday to LoLa as she skims around the sun for another revolution.  That's so her...  Looking for another revolution!

Hazy sun greeted our surfers this morning with 10 miles visibility and offshore winds at 3.1kts.  The sea surface had a definite roll and the air temp was 55.1 and the water was 59.7.  High tide was at 6:03am +4.2' and low tide follows at 12:50 +0.2'.  We have a building SW swell out of 196º at 4.6' and it was 4' to 6' with some bigger outsides.  But if you were in the water the big news was the sighting of a large dolphin with a chunk taken out of it's midsection and a gash in it's tail.  It was trailing entrails and body fluids and appeared to be the victim of either a predator bite or a encounter with a propeller.  Not taking any chances the water was cleared and the lifeguards were notified.  If we had to guess, we'd imagine it was injured in the outer waters and was trying to get close to shallow water to be able to breathe.  Still you don't want to be in the water with all of that chum...

Happy hour this evening will be at Greenbelt on the Hermosa Plaza.  See you at 5:30.  LoLa reserved a table so we should be able to sit down a bit earlier this time...

It was bound to happen...  We were bounced from our digs at the Topaz International Trump Tower Suites, probably because of our leftist leanings.  Maybe if we'd just been communists that would have been okay.  Anyway, taking matters into our own hands, we've moved up the street to the famous "Mar Y Fuego" resort at 408 Topaz St.  We decided to paint it up and this is a shot of the "Clark McTaggert Suite" with the accent wall being a brilliant shade of "Liquid Blue Aloha!"  We anticipate a house warming...  stay tuned...

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
