Man Of Mystery Monday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

So if the surf seems a tad small, it's because Aubrie just got her new board (#1) and the surf always gets small when you get a new board...  Actually, she's kinda liking the smaller stuff, before things go crazy...

Overcast with 5 miles visibility and winds out of the south-east by 4.5kts.  The sea surface had some stiff texture to it.  The air temperature was 70.2 and the water is 73.4.  High tide was at 7:33am +3.6' and low tide will be at 12:02pm +2.7'.  We have a SSW swell out of 196º at 2.3' and it was a fun 2' to 3' with some nice little runners up to the sand...

René often gets some nice photos from her perch high atop the pier.  This one (#2) of B$ (read as: "B" Money) or Jetski is especially evocative...  You can feel the pent up energy, the possibilities, the low tide...

Bobby Warchola was on a rant about the garbage all over the streets this morning.  If it stayed on the street that would be ugly, but cool with us.  The trouble is it gets washed down the street, into the gutter and down the storm drain to the beach.  Right where we surf by the pier.  So 5,000 people come down to the beach concert, they leave 2½ tons of trash and a bunch of it ends up in the ocean.  Not only that, but the restaurants on the plaza wash all their detritus to the storm drains and that compounds the problem.  Photo #3 is the cage where they keep the big mobile trash trailer.  You'll notice that not all of the trash ends up in the trailer.  If that weren't enough, the juice that drains out of the garbage (#4) also ends up fouling the gutters and stinking up "Hermosa" beach.  This is the same juice that Dr. Frankenstein used to animate the monster.  If lightning strikes the fence, no telling what creature could arise from this goo...

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
