Land Of The Long White Cloudy Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Okay, so maybe we're not THE land of the long white cloud, but we HAVE long white clouds...  We also have electricity, which somehow makes us feel a bit better about progress...  sort of...

So it was cool and cloudy with a hint of drizzle.  3 miles of gray visibility, kinda like what dogs see all the time.  Winds were persistent from the SSE by 6kts and the sea surface had a definite bump.  The air temperature was 60.1 and the water is 62.2.  High tide was at 11:16am +3.7' and low tide will be at 3:56pm +2.1'.  We have a SSW swell out of 209º at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3' but pretty walled as long as we watched.  If you could'a hung around for a little longer, you might have had a shot at some better shaped waves...

How much longer do we have to suffer long rubber?  Actually, you can make the change NOW!  You can throw on your shorty and hit the surf.  It's a little cool, but HEY!  Morgan trunked (swimsuited?) it on Sunday.  Show the world what you're made of...  we happen to be made of oatmeal and no one likes cold oatmeal...

Benchmark:  Here we have our own royalty as sitting members of parliament prior to their board meeting.  Passing judgement on the surf and sitting on the Group W bench.  From L. to R. The Honorable Herr Doktor Edvard Scale D.C., H₂0,  Joseph Van Anderson Meringue-Feline', OBE, HB₂0, Professor Emeritus Francisco Ornellas Paine-Paine-Paine, MMTV, #57-58 and Count Boris Vasily Ivanovich Shapirov Jetski, KGB, M13, AK47...  They are the reason the revolution will be televised...

No regular report for the rest of the week...  The staff is scheduled to go to Dallas as representatives of "Surfers Without Borders."  A rather noble cause that in this case became geographically disconcerted and landed us some distance from the surf.  However, we will be giving seminars on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard in floating, snorkeling and identification of flora and fauna ("THAT'S A FAUNA - RUN!)  Be back on Monday the 4th...

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
