Who Ate All The CoCo Puffs Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

We took a turn up the coast and got into Oregon and some of the spots up there.  The wind appeared to be howling onshore, but when we got to Gold Beach (#1 & #2), the headland jutted out to sea causing this rivermouth to be facing northwest.  The result was an almost perfect offshore situation with the wind now howling out to sea!  There was one guy out and he was concentrating on the left, but there was also a right that ran right off the river and into a sand bar.  If you judged things incorrectly, you could find yourself headed down river to the end of the jetty where it was overhead and wind-blown ugly.  If you could watch this spot for two weeks we have no doubt that you would see every combination that it had to offer.  Considering the wind was blowing at 20-25kts and the water was 48º it was good the sun was out...

Overcast, cloudy this morning and the 62.4º water and the 58.0º air sucked the warm out of everything.  Low tide was at 10:43am +0.3' and high tide will be at 5:48pm +4.6'.  We have a SSW swell out of 195º at 3.6' and it was 2 to 4' and could thump you if you weren't paying attention...  So...  PAY ATTENTION!

5 Vintage Rick's going the wrong way on Cypress St. (#3).  We'd take the middle rounded pin if we had to choose.  We owned a diamond tail gun like the yellow winged swallow on the left.  Turned down rails all the way around and 18½" wide.  It had to be head-high before you could turn it or you had to do angle takeoffs.  Maybe the fastest boards Becker ever shaped...  We understand Jimmy Barahona might be interested in parting with one or two for the right price...  Hurry though, they're quintuple parked...

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
