What Trees Know Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

We took this snap (#1) of a table top in Idaho in which the grain perfectly described the watershed of the Snake River.  Actually the Boise River is more prominent in fact, but hell it's a piece of wood...

Jah Morgan proving that even if your head is a little pointed, you can still do the no-hands carry if you find that ding right in the sweet spot of your boards bottom...

Yet another good day in the surf, with overcast skies and 7 miles visibility.  Winds were variable onshore and the sea surface had a bit of texture.  The air temperature was 67.5 and the water was 65.8.  High tide was at 6:00am +3.0' and low tide is at 10:51am +2.1' for a minimal tidal shift.  We have a west swell out of 272º at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' with some fat outsides cleaning up the inside...  Donnie says the mañana could be a reprise of today ...

Tarsan still wandering through the hustings and discovering that water towers (#3) are prime targets for the intense winds that sweep across the prairies.  The good burghers of Britten are hoping the next twister to come through straightens up the damage it did in ought-seven...  You betcha'...

When you travel down to Newport and head to Rhonda's for lunch you never know what delicacies you're going to find.  On this trip we got garbanzos in butter lettuce cups, clams and linguica in a broth that made you drop your fork and head straight for the spoon.  Then there was the French bread...  the perfect vehicle for sopping up that good broth...  The Professor remarked that when he started the plate had had a design...  nothing left of it after the second helping...

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
