Lost In Space Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Still pumping a bit this morning, an indicator might be the fact that no one can get out yet in Hermosa(#1).  The avenues on the other hand were full of gladiators trying to get a few corners before the swell drops...

Clear skies and 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore at 1kt and the sea surface was slightly rolled.  The air temperature was 51.5 and the water is 62.1.  High tide was at 5:44am +5.4' and low tide will be at 12:38pm +0.7'.  We have a west swell out of the west 267º at 9.2' and depending on your surf scouting abilities, it could be 4' to 10'...

Here we have 2 of Santa's elves on a breakfast break at Brother's Burritos.  Yes, it's Elf Danese (#2) and Elf Donna (#3) and they rode their bicycles all the way from their workshop at the North Pole to get burritos!  Not unlike Santa himself, the elves are able to commute long distances in very short periods of time.  And, just like that, they were gone...

Okay, here's your chance to give someone the moon for Christmas!  You too can become a lunar landowner (#4) by purchasing an acre of lunar landscape for the out-of-this-world price of $29.95 per acre.  Apparently, Lunar Land Co. is one of the first companies in the world to possess a legal trademark and copyright for the sale of extraterrestrial property within the boundaries of our solar system (once you're out of the solar system, as we all know, you're on your own.)  The only other time we've been approached with this kind of fabulous deal was when we bought 150 acres of prime real estate in Baja and it turned out to be under government sanction and they spared no time in taking it back.  But hey, it's the MOON!  Your nearest neighbor would be 237,138 miles away and we've been told that Earth-rise is spectacular from prime acreage...  They also have a bridge...

No happy hour this week as the amateurs take over our watering holes and try to forget their lives of quiet desperation...  We asked about Friday the 28th and apparently the jury is still deciding whether it's much too close to the 1st to allow the normal liver to recuperate...  Not that YOUR liver is normal.  You'll be the second to know...

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
