Larceny On Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Another gray morning with 5+ miles visibility.  Winds were light on-shore and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 65.5 and the water is holding right around 69.6.  Low tide was at 6:05am +0.8' and high tide was at 12:28pm +4.5'.  We have a SSW swell out of 206º at 2.0' and it was half that as you can see in photo#1.  Windy this afternoon and maybe it'll blow a little something up in the morning...

After having a bit of dinner at Capt. Kidd's this evening, Alan Walti walked out to discover his bicycle lock in two pieces and his new electric bike GONE.  Doesn't that piss you off!  Who the hell does this kind of shit?  To his credit he stayed calm and called the cops and then headed down to the station to file a report.  If you're gonna try and recoup anything from your homeowners policy you need to have a police report.  But of course he's out a bike and it'll cost him a couple of G's to replace it...  Damn!

Logan's birthday party on Saturday night with some great grinds and fabulous music.  At one point Marty (#2) (the backup guitar guy for Megadeath) came into the music room and played some iconic heavy metal riffs for the assembled revelers.  People had been playing around a bit on the keyboards and guitars, but he pretty much blew the room away!  Natalie (#3) was ramping up the style meter with her rainbow stole...  Lights courtesy of SenseiJoey...

(#4) This one's from the archives, maybe around '72 or '73.  It was a surf trip to Torrey Pines that devolved into a camping trip to Lake Cuyamaca.  Down front we have BamaBurke and from L. to R. it's Teresa, the Professor and Aunt Cacky...

Saturday evening was the 30th reunion of the class of '89 at Bishop Montgomery.  They chose to be conveyed to the festivities in style and commandeered the Professor's bus (#5) for the occasion.  From L. to R. BamaBurke, Katie, Amy, Tracy Courtney, Erin and Tina...  The word on the street is that no one was better looking than this bunch...

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
