That's How You Crack A Case Thursday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

There was a wallet found in the street outside of Brother's Burritos this morning.  Someone turned it in to Brother's counter, imagining it might have belonged to a patron.  But then we put "Clarke the Meth Hunter"™ on the case...  It was a pleasure to behold...  He went through the wallet, discovered a receipt from Scotty's dated an hour earlier.  Figuring the owner would call the last place he remembered having the wallet, Clarke took it to Scotty's and in no time the owner called and came in to pick it up!  Ah, the power of ratiocination!  (#1 Clarke and Jenx the Wonder Dog®)

A beautiful morning with light offshore breezes and smooth seas.  The air was a bit chilly at 50.0 and the water was 60.4.  Low tide was at 11:22am +0.9' and high tide followed at 5:51pm +2.9'.  We have a WSW swell out of 251º at 2.3', but it was 3' to 4' as the swell focused on Aubrieland.  We watched Danny Connell and Sean Larned rip some fantastic lefts all the way to the pilings.  Earlier in the morning it was Jah Morgan, Kira Bones and José the Codfish that showed the peanut gallery how it was done... 

Not many people will buy that a Chihuahua runs the family "business."  Think again...  (#2)

We always thought we were pretty good at those international icons.  The list of prohibitions (#3) made good sense until we came to the squirrel.  "No squirrels?"  "No pet squirrels?"  "No squirrely behavior?"  "No bushy tails?"  "No eating nuts or hiding them in your cheeks?"  The best we could think of was "Don't touch the squirrels because they might have bubonic plague."

What global warming?  We remember when the observation deck was above the water! (#4)  Thanks to Ladyspaine for the great artwork...

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
