Toes (& Heels) On The Nose Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

As you've probably heard already through the coconut telegraph, in Spain at the Ferrolog Contest Jah Morgan (#2) got second place and Christian Stutzman (#1) got FIRST!  From the looks of the waves, the surf in the South Bay was an excellent warm up for Spain!  Beautiful sparkling green water too...

Fifty shades of gray this morning under overcast skies that never quite cleared.  Winds were variable onshore and the sea surface had a slight bump to it.  The air was 62.5 and the water is 61.0.  High tide was at 6:28am +4.5' and low tide was zero's at 12:49pm.  We have a SSW swell out of 200º at 3.9' and it was 3.0' and maybe a bit fatter on the outside.  The weather militia tells us that wind and rain are on the way for Thursday, but conditions will be prone to deteriorate as the front slides through...

Haven't you always wondered what the people at the bank say when you walk in with one of those huge checks (#3)?  That's probably because we've never gotten one of those big checks...  Note our proud shaper Ché José.  He does make great boards!

Yoshi was taking a break this morning and snapped this shot (#4) of Tarzan and the Professor waiting for a bump.  According to their Apple watches they caught quite a few, but that's not what it looks like here...

Happy Hour at Laurel Tavern this week.  Friday, 5:30pm for the curious, hungry and thirsty...  We will invite Jah, Christian and Ché to share their adventures in España...

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
