Wind Borne Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Here we have a portrait of some of our Hermosa Streakers.  From L. to R. there's Mr. Christian, Blakers, the Professor, Jah Morgan and Lena...  When "All streakers" were asked to line up for their photo, there was some question about whether this would be sans wetsuits.  Turns out the streak was referring to the 30 Day Streak and not the naked running sort...  Glad that got cleared up!  The Professor and staff photog, René Evette (#2) celebrate day number 7 for the Professor.  We're hoping the surf comes up a bit for some better go-outs...

Hazy sun this morning for another hot one in the So. Bay.  Winds were offshore by 2.9kts and the sea surface was smooth to glassy.  The air temperature at checkout was 65.3 and the water is 66.9.  High tide was at 7:00am +4.7' and low tide will be at 12:25pm +2.3'.  We have a SSW swell out of 206º at 2.6' and it was a wally crashy 2'.  Might be worth a look at Longfellow in the morning...

There are a lot of questions why A-1 Painting doesn't get more work (#3).  A lot has to do with the van.  It's got a shitty paint job, so it reduces our confidence right off the bat.  Then there's the rumors about him painting with Carnation French Vanilla creamer, instead of traditional latex paint.  Yes, it's a great color, yes it's got a convenient dispenser and of course it smells and tastes great.  But it hasn't got that longevity we've come to expect.  Finally, there's the sign... Certainly creative, but maybe a bit rushed...

On our way back home LoLa enjoys the view of Seattle from the Ferry (#4).  When there's the opportunity the ferries can be a great way to cut out a bit of driving and see things from the water perspective...

Patrick Malloy's for the thirsty, hungry and curious.  Friday at 6pm on the patio.  Maybe this warm weather will hold out!

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
