Fox New Wednesday Surf & Culture Report (Let's Try This Again...)



Lost Boys & Co...

Initially sighted in Hermosa, these Red Foxes (#1) made their way along the sand to Manhattan, where they disappeared into the tree section looking for domestic not-so-wildlife to eat.  Why this is so much news has more to do with them running along the beach in broad daylight, rather than whether or not they're native to this habitat.  Heaven knows, there have been foxes on the beach for ages...

A beautiful morning with some brilliant waves.  Like this left (#2) near the 10th St. tower.  Clear skies and 20+miles visibility with offshore winds at 3 to 5kts and smooth surface conditions.  The air temperature was 47.8º chilly and the water was 59.0º.  High tide was at 9:30am +6.7' and low tide will be at 4:53pm -1.3'.  We have a west swell out of 274º at 3.3' and it was 3' to 4-5'...  Some fun ones while the tide peaked things up...

65 years of surfing experience here, with Doc ? and Barahona Team Rider Dylan Roa (#3).  Of course 55 of those years belong to Doc, but who's counting.  Note the Barahona Surfboards magnetic sign on Dylan's door.  The rule about this sign is that if it's on your car, you need to post it on Instagram or bad luck will follow you until it doesn't.  Mr. Christian had it on his truck and didn't post it and he was unable to go left for almost three weeks.  Fireman Dave had it on his truck and sat on a fish.  Dani wanted to put it on her electric car and got caught in fishing lines next to the pier.  By the time she got untangled she was on her way to Carson to be fried for lunch...  Pay attention..

Could be windy tomorrow, so we'll check it early and see if we can beat the hawk.  Swell still seems to be holding steady (#4), so let's see what's what...

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
