Rotate Your Tires Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

"And the Oscar goes to..."  Jetski and the Professor handing out the awards on New Year's Eve...  Yours is in the mail...

10 miles visibility under high clouds this morning.  Winds were light offshore by 1.9kts and the sea surface was glassy.  The air temperature was 53.7 and the water is 61.7.  High tide is at 8:36am +7.2' and low tide will be at 3:48pm -1.8' for a 9' tidal differential.  We got an alert this morning for coastal flooding in low lying areas at higher tides...  We have a WSW swell out of 248º at 1.3' and if we're lucky it might be half of that.  Like always, it's supposed to be better tomorrow.

On a most somber note, Morgan Sliff lost her brother David over the weekend.  Words cannot express our sadness and grief over her loss... 

Tandis knew that she was getting the blue board on the left from Joe Bark, because she had ordered it...  But when Jack showed up with the new balsa laminate fish, she kinda freaked out!  There's nothing quite like having the perfect gift show up unexpected!

"Do mermaids exist?"   The answer is "YES" and here we have an example of two of them sitting right in the window at Brothers.  You might know them as Nancy and Jane, but everyone on the beach knows them as the mermaids.  We might be out there complaining about the cold and then they come swimming by, like mermaids do, and suddenly everyone is just a little sunnier...

Happy hour will be at Samba this Friday at 5:30pm on the patio.  Dress warmly and get ready to share your resolutions.  Not that anyone made any, but the road to hell has to be paved with more than a few resolutions...

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
