Mr. Pink Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Initially we thought this (#1) was the Familia's answer to Abbey Road.  Turns out it was a send up of Reservoir Dogs...  The Professor asked, "Why do I always have to be Mr. Pink?"  (Photo courtesy of Eric Barton for NFL Weekly)

A lot like yesterday with 10 miles visibility under sunny/hazy skies.  Winds were light onshore starting at 2kts and revving up throughout the morning leaving textured seas.  The air at checkout was a chilly 58.9º and the water at the buoy was a frigid 62.4º.  It wasn't that cold in the surfline (maybe 66 to 68) but not prime summer temps.  High tide at 7:34am +3.1' and low tide will be at 11:08am +2.8'.  We have a SSW swell out of 195º at 2.6' and it was a solid 2' with some fatter odd ones...  S'pose to be getting bigger though the week...

Salvador (#2) diving into more bean and cheese than he'd ever seen in his life.  Mom had just said, "Do you want a bite?" and Sal reached over and scooped the whole burrito and proceeded to munch his way through...  Portagee style...

Jah Morgan and Aubrie (#3) showing some style in and out of the water yesterday.  We couldn't surf Aubrieland because it was filled to the brim with International Surf Festival Pier to Pier swimmers.  When the gun went off, it sounded like Niagara Falls!  Lifeguard Matt told us they made 5 Skidoo rescues of individuals who cramped and/or got mangled on the initial pier leg of the swim...

#4) Is what happens when your ring bearer, thinks you said, "Ring Bear."  There was no walking it back and it was in keeping with the lighthearted style of the occasion...

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
