We Are Not Alone Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Nope, we are not alone.  It is reported that the New York Times (don't ask us how we know this) is getting ready to publish some previously classified files that indicate that aliens and alien spacecraft actually do exist.  They've got generals who've looked at metallic samples from UFO crashes (stuff they say couldn't be made on earth), video of some pretty crazy things and no shortage of wild theories.  Personally, we're imagining we're in deep enough shit right now without extra terrestrials muddying up the waters, but who knows, maybe they have some of the answers we need.  Or maybe they're putting together a cookbook?  If they've been looking at old "Twilight Zone" episodes emanating from the earth, they could have all kinds of great ideas...

And the good news just keeps on coming...  here (#1) we have a poster at Scotties, for "Monday:  All You Can Eat Spaghetti."  Not only that, if you need HELP, it looks like you're welcome to bring your friends...

Overcast this morning with 7 miles visibility and winds variable out of the west.  The air temperature was 65.3 and the water is 68.7.  High tide was at 11:48am +4.3' and low tide is at 4:53pm +2.0'.  There's a WSW swell out of 256º at 3.3' and it was 3' to 5' with a lot of water moving through on some of the outsides.  Tarsan and Ronnie got some standout waves and Doc ? claims to have left everything in the laundromat...

Ah, the difference a year makes!  Last year we managed to convince Tarsan to join us along with Yoshi, LoLa and the Professor and a gaggle of McGuire's, Young's, Carlisle's and Rankin's in King's Canyon.  Here (#2) Tarsan and LoLa traverse the Zumwalt Meadows trail through the granite scree-fall area.  This year we'll be bivouacking in the back yard, shooing off skunks, possums, rats and raccoons...

Then there's 5 year's ago today!  (#3) shows Jetski setting up for a sweet bottom turn on a rare visit to the north side of the pier.  He and the Professor (#4) got their passports stamped and got worked on some of the outsides that day.  It looks amazingly like this morning, other than the sunshine...

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
