Blue Hole Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

At 5:30am we were trying to figure out why the sprinklers had gone on on the great south lawn of the Mar y Fuego Estate.  LoLa looked out the window and said, "It's raining!"  "Imposserous!" said the Professor, "It's June 29th and we can have overcast but rain is strictly forbidden under the Treaty of Ghent, article 32, #14."  He reluctantly got up to take a look and had to admit that it was, in fact raining.  But what does one do when it's raining?  One goes surfing (and hopes that he meets two and three and maybe four and five.)  By the time we arrived in Hermosa (THE) Beach there were patches of blue sky (#1) and things rapidly improved, except for maybe the wind got a little more enthusiastic and things bumped up a bit.  The air temperature was 62.8 and the water is 66.7.  Low tide was at 10:49am +1.0' and high tide will be at 5:42pm +5.3, in time for dinner.  We have a SSW swell out of 195º at 3.3' and it was 2' to 4' and before you know it Tarsan was out, Jah Morgan was sliding about, Mr. Christian managed to score one of the worst wipeouts he's experienced in the last 22½ months and the Professor was busy imagining things he could coat with Flex-Seal...

Suzi and Joey have grown some absolutely humongous sunflowers (#2).  The city of Redondo has ordered them to cut them down because of the possibility of giants using them to climb down and wreak havoc on the city.  Apparently the city attorney read this occurred somewhere and is now enforcing the height of some plants and the sale of magic beans.  Actually, we thought that if you planted some of these on the south side of the border wall, which happens to be the sunny side by the way, you could wait a few weeks and then just climb over to the north side.  To make it easier you could throw some of the seeds over the wall and have stalks to climb down on the other side...  wait, there's more...  then you could harvest the seeds and have something to eat on your way to the freeway or you could sell them and buy back the cow that the kid sold for the magic beans...

Also out and about this morning were Jay-Rae, Meg and Chelsea (#3).  Talk about your basic California girls!  When we mentioned that it must be inflation that now there were three girls for every boy, Jay said that if you have two, you get one free...  We will be speaking to Flinch about this arrangement...

It was only a matter of time before the birds realized what was going on.  Of course who would you rather shit on?  A confederate general seems like a great target...  We don't feel too sorry for the pigeons though, there are plenty of BMW's, Lamborghini's and Maserati's...

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
