Don't Do Math In Public Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

#1)  Can you feel the love?  Sometimes you keep it bottled up for so long, you just have to let it go!  In this case, it appears that there was a simultaneous explosion of love for the Jah Morgan, that just couldn't be contained any longer.  Clockwise from the top left, we have Mr. Christian, Kaitlin, Leigh, Doc ? and in the middle of this vortex, Jah Morgan herself... 

10+ miles visibility under clear skies this morning, with offshore winds holding steady most of the day.  The air temperature was 61.9 and the water is 60.4.  A rather generous high tide at 9:03am +7.0' and low tide was at 4:14pm -1.3' for a big tidal swing.  A SW swell out of 214º at 2.6' and with a little help from the tide it was 3' to 4'.  We waited until noon to go out and the conditions held throughout the session, until the tide got so low that the corners disappeared and it became pretty longboard unfriendly...

Covid hair flying in the breeze and a smile on his face, we have this shot of the Professor setting up for that section that jumps ahead of you just when you think you've got it made.  On this day the air was 87º and the water was 85º.  He's riding a Barahona Bullet "Model Tio" which worked great in these conditions.  Enough foam for easy paddling, a slight concave, perfect rail configuration with a 10" Nuuhiwa fin seemed to be the right combination for Saladitas...

Wouldn't be much of a surf trip without a sunset photo.  #3 was one of several spectacular evening we enjoyed from "Ilianet's" restaurant on the beach...  We'd see Ilianet in the water in the morning and she'd tell us the special for the evening.  Huachinango one night, molé the next and relleños on Sunday...  Yowzum!

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
