Wishy-Washy Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

So, how foggy was it yesterday?  #1 Tells the story pretty well.  Actually, as the fog started to burn off the waves got better and everyone had a really good time.  This morning we had 10 miles visibility under a hazy sun.  Light winds from the north and the sea surface was glassy with a short roll.  The air temperature was 71.5 and the water was 71.1.  High tide was at 10:43am +4.7' and low tide will be at 3:58pm +1.5'.  We have a rather oblique SSW swell out of 200º at 3.0' and it's about 2' and if you were in the right place, like Larry Dairy you might get a zipper all the way to the pier from Scotty's bubbles...

If you zoom in on Suzi and the Sensei Joey (#2) you can see their matching forearm tattoos.  Very chic...

#3 wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for the subject.  YES!  This  is Mr. Christian getting ahead of his board on a grinder at El Porto.  The number of wipeout photos he's featured in is really low... like ONE...

Speaking of El Porto, Bobby Warchola (shown in #4 with Sarah Foley) got rousted by some kook and his girlfriend for looking through his binoculars and taking pictures of pretty girls...  which apparently at El Porto is a crime akin to taking up two parking spaces...  But as things turn, Bobby saw him go to his vehicle and pull out a foamy...  Basically, Bobby's head exploded and he began a rant that's still going on.  He started by telling the guy that he would never be a waterman.  He advised him to take up lawn bowling, golf, checkers or paddle tennis, anything but surfing...  He accused him of being a entitled millennial and that he should leave the beach... immediately...

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
