You Can't Hide Your Lyin' Eyes Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Jah Morgan was doing her best to keep this Stutz-Lion at bay (#1)...  He was thinking he could just paws for a while...  We have no idea about the unicorn in the background.  Apparently, if you show up at the "Night Circus" you're on your own...

Clear skies and 20+ miles visibility.  Winds were off shore by 3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a chilly 42.8 and the water is 60.3.  Look for high tide at 10:15am +6.4' and low tide will be at 5:14pm -1.2' at exactly the same time as sunset!  We have a west swell out of 277º at 2.0' and it was a high tide 1' to 2'...

It's Irie Pete and Jetski enjoying a bit of sun.  Pete has been out of the water for awhile, but we're thinking he might be getting ready to take a dip in the spring...  One of the original Hermosa crew - 60's chapter...

We had several entries in our search for a caption for #3...

"I could'a had a Baharona!!!"
"Put your tongue back in your mouth you keeper of trash!"
"Stick your tongue out and say ahhhh."

From Mark Cole at HippyTree...
Wanted to reach out and invite you to HippyTree's #52weeksofnature photo gallery event this Saturday night (Jan. 26th) next door to ET Surf (although the flyer says Shockboxx on Cyprus, down from Barahona)  It's a celebration of a year's worth of nature inspired photography, with weekly winners selected by the public via our online voting platform.  This event will display each weekly winner for 2018, and at the end we'll be awarding three overall prizes.  Free tacos, beer, music and good vibes.  Feel free to pass the flyer onto the rest of the Lost Boys crew.
MAHALO!

Speaking of Barahona, here's the master (#4) mowing some foam for Mr. Stutzman...

Happy Hour this week at Shade.  5:30pm Friday, January 25th.  Our sources tell us that a shot of gin is only 97 calories if you're watching that sort of thing...

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
