Like A Fart In A Trance Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

A number of folks have distinguished themselves this last year.  We featured Greta Thunberg yesterday and today we have to mention Lima Leko.  First of all she might be the hardest working 70 year old on the planet.  On New Year's Eve she catered a party for her Lithuanian church.  On Christmas Eve she catered a party for at least 200 at St. Casimir's (Lithuanian Catholic Church.)  What she can't stand is inactivity.  If she sees you standing there with your hands in your pocket, she just might say, "You're standing there like a fart in a trance, do something!"  So don't be a fart in a trance!

A beautiful morning with high clouds and 10+ miles visibility.  Winds were off by 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 51.5 and the water is 60.1, staying close to that magic 60 mark.  Low tide was at 10:43am +2.1' and high tide follows at 3:46pm +3.0'.  We have a west swell out of 270 degrees at 4.3' and it was 2' to 6'.  Everyone expected things to be a bit better this morning, but Hermosa was walled-big faces-crashing and Sapphire was small...  But we found some grovelers...

Meanwhile, one of the advantages of your Apple Watch is that you can track your waves on it!  Kinda, cool, except be prepared to surrender control of your life...  Manzanillo Bay Mexico (#1)...

Robert's Russian Cuisine (#2) for your dining and cultural pleasure.  They feature one of the smallest large screen TV's, apparently made out of reconstituted Lada's, playing Russian music videos.  The food, however, is fabulous and if you go with the proper escort, you might get special treatment...

Got this photo (#3) from the Sensei Joey of last night's sunset.  A lot of places make a big deal about their sunsets, but we have nothing to be ashamed of ourselves...  Go ahead Santorini, beat this...

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
