No Requirements Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

It's Capitán Donaldo's bike's spot and if you park your surfboard in his place...  well, he'll park there anyway...

10 miles visibility this morning under mostly overcast skies.  Winds were variable and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 66.3 and the water is 67.8.  Low tide was at 7:13am +0.0' and high tide follows at 2:03pm +4.0'.  We had a SSW swell out of 205º at 2.6' and it was 3' and fun all along the surfline...

Tarsan is on the road and he doesn't always pick the most savory places in which to spend the night.  He got this room (#2) not far from of St. Louis, but he had to share it with a long term tenant...  We plan to call him in the morning to make sure he had a good night...

When in Southern California, make sure you're prepared for the evening weather.  As always, flannel is the go-to chill stopper.  (#3) From L. to R. Nathan Fast (In The Morning), The Sensei Joey, Bama Burke, Lady Suzi Paine, Peanut, the Professor, LoLa, Anaconda Burke, Hazel and Martin Luther Burke...  Like Mark Twain said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco."  That goes for So. Cal as well...

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
