It's A Mouse Monday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Although extremely rare, we managed to catch this "fogbow" (#1) on Saturday as the sun began to burn through the fog.  It actually arced over the pier, but we couldn't get back far enough to catch the entire phenomenon...

Overcast this morning with 3 miles visibility.  Winds were variable early, at one point turning offshore for about 10 minutes, but they were primarily WSW by 1.1kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 56.3 and the water was 59.0, but felt more like 57 or 58.  Still stings the hands a bit.  Low tide was at 11:29am -2.0' and high tide was late at 6:30pm +4.0'.  We had a SSW swell out of 195º at 3.0' and that what it was in the surfline, breaking fairly far out on the rising tide...

Since Louie-Louey's/Anthony's/Moon's went under we've been scouting out places to eat on Monday nights.  Originally, this started out as a Monday Night Football gathering, but it's morphed into a year-round ritual.  Our current spot is Captain Kidd's (#2) and we meet there on Monday evenings at 6pm.  There's plenty of parking and we sit in the enclosed rear area at the patio tables...  We would advise keeping your mouth closed when you chew...

"A loop, a dive, a vertical climb..." and the Professor exits adjacent to the beach on this little Nica sand buster (#3)...

You won't believe this, but we have it on good authority that the next Happy Hour will be at Laurel Tavern.  That's Friday the 27th at 5:30pm.  LoLa would like to thank everyone for turning out for her birthday happy hour and especially Morgan Sliff for bringing the delicious cake and Chris Sellars for picking up most of the tab!  There is no theme for this week, but maybe we'll think of something...

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
