Finally TWO Years Friday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Our woman of the hour Jah Morgan talks her bf KimberlySuds into this nice little roller just under the pier (#1).  Kimmy hasn't been surfing too long and got some nice ones to celebrate Jah's second year in a row of surfing everyday! 

So, the old saw is that "practice makes perfect."  We're thinking that there's something to that as Morgan gets a casual little ten (#2).  They say that it takes 10,000 hours to really get proficient at something.  Obviously Jah is putting in her time...

Hazy sun this morning and 12 miles visibility.  Winds were light and variable to 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 68.9 and the water is 71.8 and warmer in the surfline.  High tide was at 9:07am +4.2' and low tide will follow at 2:00pm +1.7'.  We have a 3.6' swell out of a steep 202º SSW.  It was a fun 3' with some longer lefts and bumped little rights...

Is this any way to treat the guest of honor?  Apparently, José thought so as he dowsed the Jah with some champagne.  In characteristic style she head-dipped through the foam and emerged barely wet on the other side...

Happy hour tonight at 5:30pm at Waterman's Surfer's Safe House.  Next to the Lighthouse on the Pier Plaza, join up for food, drink and stimulating conversation...

Celebrity sightings were numerous as news of Morgan's accomplishment spread up and down the beach.  She is shown here with Jetsky and Natasha.  If you look closely and you can see a bullet hole in Natasha's bottom.  Jetsky said that he wasn't at liberty to discuss the matter because of pending litigation...  A bit unnerved by the bullet hole, we'd heard there'd been a stabbing...

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
