Lots Of Gravity Out There Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Mark Cole from HippyTree, sent us this amended flyer (#1).  You'll note that the location of the exhibit has changed to 914 Aviation Blvd. in Hermosa Beach... 

Another beautiful winter's day with 20+ miles visibility under a hazy sun.  Winds were light offshore by 3.7kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 50.2 and the water at the buoy is 60.3.  It was a posted 57-58 at the HB pier, but temps often vary by a couple of degrees.  Low tide was at 6:13am +1.6' and high tide follows at 12:03pm +4.9'.  We have a west swell out of 260º at 2.3' and it was 2' to 3' with some nice lefts off of the 10th St. lifeguard tower...  Rumor has it that Jetski will be surfing on Sunday...  Rumors...

A little sunshine inside and out, with René, Clarke and Kimmy-Suz (#2) taking advantage of the gorgeous morning to check out the surf and grab a bit of exercise...  Hugging is exercise, right?

Here's a pair to draw too (#3)...  Lilly Panda Cheeseburger and Bama Burke cleaning up during a rollicking game of "Apples to Apples®"

As you well know, Happy Hour will be at Shade Hotel, King Harbor, in the Sea Level Bar.  5pm for colliding in the bar...

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
