Meanwhile On Monday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

"SA-LAWN KARG" on the lawn at the Mar y Fuego Resort yesterday.  Mike Karg and his lovely wife Verena are in town and Jetsky feted the couple as Karg sheared the enthusiastic gathering.  The secret is, of course, to get it cut short enough now so that it's ready to cut again in October when he returns...

Overcast this morning and 7 miles visibility.  Winds were light out of the SW by 3kts and the sea surface had a light bump to it.  The air temperature was 68.3 and the water is a delightful 73.2.  High tide was at 11:19am +4.7' and low tide will be at 4:30pm +1.6'.  We have a weak SSW swell out of 196º at 2.3' and it was about half of that on most beaches this morning...  The forecast looks pretty dismal until this weekend when the outer waters begin to have a bit of wind and the swell increases...  Be patient...

Jah Morgan with Alan Walti from the Surfrider Foundation receiving an award for her part in the annual beach clean-up and testing effort.  While the Jah is cleaning up, we're just trying not to be too messy...  Part of the crowd at Waterman's on Friday evening, including LoLa, Yoshi (photobombing) and Sean Sullivan checking his phone.  Sean is the general manager at Pacific Subaru and will get you a deal despite yourself...

Many of you know Randy Ruby, either personally or through his excellent photographic work featuring local subject matter.  Randy is currently locked in a battle with cancer and is selling many of his photos to help defray the cost of his treatments.  He has an excellent line of greeting cards, photographs and larger images that you can check out at randyruby.com.   Take a look...

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
