Dis' Robe, Dat Robe Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

More gray as Foggust becomes the new month in our surf calendar.  S.J. and José (#1) take part in "Bring-Your-Daughter-To-Surf-Day", which just happened to coincide with Robe Tuesday.  If you were going to bring your J.C. Penny's robe to the beach, it's time to up your game...  Meanwhile, Jetski and S.J. (#2) make duck lips as they enjoy the light offshore breeze.  The sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 65.5 and the water is 66.9.  All the swimmers agreed that it had dropped a few points...  Waiting for the tide to rise at 9:50am +4.2', our group (#3) does their best to demonstrate the character that has made them legends from 10th Street to the Pier and west of Hermosa Avenue.  Then at 2:41pm the tide dropped to a +2.2' low, exposing the recently covered wreck of the Hesperus.  There's a SSW swell out of 202º at 2.0' and it wasn't enough to warrant a go-out.  Maybe mañana...

José (#4) continues the thankless job of making sure all the Sruf Familia vehicles are properly cautioned.  We must advise that likewise, HE is a caution...

Questions have been raised about the happy hour selection for this week, so we'll have to get back to you on that...

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
