It's All Theatre Thursday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

There is NO doubt that the revolution will be televised or at least run it's course through social media.  We always thought it was a good idea to light the tires on fire and then quietly leave the scene.  Not these girls (#1).  First of all they used sparklers to get the tires going, then they had to pose for a selfie.  Even the government troops had cell phones! 

Beautiful morning with hazy sun and distant clouds.  Not much wind and smooth seas.  The air temp was a chilly 47.9 and the water continues to hold at 62.4.  High tide was at 6:34am +5.8' and low tide will follow at 1:30pm +0.1'.  We have a WSW swell out of 255º at 3.6' and it was 3' to 5' at the Cove where we decided to venture en masse.  José showed the savages at Little Reef how to go left, while Jetski borrowed some of his beach-break moves to pinball through the north side.  Jah Morgan declared the proceedings "cute" and "adorable", while Doc Scale walked along the parked cars looking for Bandaids™ to staunch the crimson pouring from his wounded extremities.  He appeared to be a direct descendant of Danger Boy...  Meanwhile the Professor was dreaming about his new whip...

Sub-Commandante Pancho (#2) proved inspirational to the troops.  Unfortunately, upon his leaving things fell apart and dissolved into chaos.  Of course the government has taken back over and although there are some pockets of resistance, for the most part things have returned to "normal."  Never an easy process...

It appears that we entered upon Tarzan and his colleague at an inopportune time...  We are awaiting forensic tooth identification to positively identify his anorexic amigo...

Happy Hour at Patrick Malloy's this Friday at 5:30pm on the patio.  Dress warmly...

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
