Mountainous Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Once again summer is running away before we really got a hold on things...  But not before we met up with the Maharishi Larkin and Kris (#1) in Colorado.  We are considering two of his many offers.  #1  Ride oil tanker wakes in Galveston Bay and #2  Go surfing at the wave park in Waco.  We asked if that was the same park where the guy got brain eating amoeba and he said "Yes."  But they tested everything and now the official word is that the guy got the bug in Mexico on a trip down there...  That doesn't make us feel better either...

Overcast this morning with 5 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore by 1.2kts and the sea surface was glassy.  The air temperature was 63.0 and the water was 66.0.  High tide was at 9:19am +4.1' and low tide was at 2:03pm +2.4'.  We have a SSW swell out of 205º at 2.0' and it was 1' to 2' and poor to fair and more fun than it looked.  Remember that tomorrow is "Robe Tuesday" and everyone will be wearing their favorite robe to the beach...

And YES, IT WAS JAH MORGAN'S BIRTHDAY AND DON'T FORGET TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

And YES, THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!  BUCK DID GET MARRIED TO KATHY AND THEY ARE HOUSEKEEPING IN SEQUIM, WASHINGTON!

The Maharishi sent us this (#2) from Texas.  As we all know, going beck to school can be anxiety provoking and one of the best ways to relieve all that tension is to squeeze off a few rounds.  Y'all come back now, y'hear...

Finally, we have LoLa and Tarzan making their way through this granite tunnel (#3) on their way to Zumwalt Meadows.  The boulder above was in the way and Tarzan chucked it back on top...

No word on happy hour this week.  You'll be the third to know...

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
