A Totally Fallible Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Tarsan and Sancho (#1) on the rim of some gulch in the Southwest...  Technically, if you follow the river you should end up in the Gulf of California.  Okay, there are a couple of dams in the way, but aren't there spillways?  Are not the spillways in operation?  Awaiting reports from our boys...

Overcast skies with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were variable and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 65.8 and the water was a pleasant 68.7.  Low tide dredged out at 7:35am +0.4' and high tide follows at 2:50pm +4.1'.  We had a SSW swell out of 202º at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3' and despite the low tide there were some fun little corners...

Then there's something like over a hundred and fifty years of surfing here (#2).  Yes!  Capitán Donaldo and the Professor show off their "No Way" swag from the B-25 sailboat of the same name...

Across the parking lot the ever popular Doc ? (#3) dons his scrubs and heads to Palos Verdes to work on diseases of the rich.  Together with Ronnie G., Larry Dairy, Jetski, the Professor, the Bacalao-Missle and Kira Bones they had a fine session this morning.  The only downer was that Caroline and Adam leave for the right coast mañana to start a new chapter in their lives.  Wishing them luck and happiness and we hope they make the trip back to the left coast periodically to check in.

Larry Dairy (#4) points the way to the action, in case there was any confusion...

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
