#1 We have Jah-Morgan and the Professor as he embarks on his 30 day #sliffsurfchallenge...
Of course Jah has been hitting the water everyday for over 1500 days, but every little bit helps!  Now, you could do the same thing.  If the Professor is crazy enough to think he can do 30 days in a row, what does that say about you?  Check out the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation and see how you can either put some casheese on the professor (to make him feel really bad if he misses a day) or just make a donation to help this worthwhile cause.  (The JMMF Ocean Therapy program combines occupational and recreational therapies with the sport of surfing in the healing environment of the ocean. Ocean Therapy is proven to assist recovery and rehabilitation for those challenged by Post Traumatic Stress Disorders ("PTSD",) traumatic brain injuries, and other emotional, mental and medical conditions. The JMMF team consists of professional occupational and psychological therapists, expert surf instructors, experienced water pros and lifeguards, and dedicated volunteers.)

Hazy sun this morning and 10 miles visibility.  Working up to be a hot one today, it was 64.9 in the air and 66.7 in the water.  Winds were Santana style from the SE.  High tide was at 6:00am +3.8' and low tide will be at 9:38am +3.4' in a bit of a stack.  We have a SSW swell out of 195º at 3.3' and it was 2' to 3'...

The lady in charge of the signs in this QFC supermarket decided that you can't do a proper "RUM" sign without trying the goods.  After only a few sips, we think she still had remarkable small motor coordination...  Or not...

This (#3) was as an "Islet" up on the coast of Clallum County in Washington.  We walked out on the dark sand and looked at a small bay where it is reported that they have waves.  It was small this day, but we watched as otters played in the little waves and the crisp air was invigorating to say the least.

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
