Black Friday Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Photo #1 about sums up the conditions this morning.  Cloudless skies with a bit of smog on the horizon.  Offshore winds at 3 to 5kts were brushing the manes of the small waves.  The air was a chilly 48.5º and the water was 62.2º.  Low tide was at 7:50am +3.6' and high tide was at 1:00pm +4.3', with not much of a tidal disparity.  We have a west swell out of 261º at 2.0' and that's probably why things were a bit walled up even as the tide filled in...

Like daughter, like father (#2), SeaWolf made an appearance this morning on his legendary "Fire Woman" Takayama Model T.  SeaWolf was one of the founding members of the Lost Boys Surf & Culture Club and was present for some of the early forays into mainland Mex.  He's currently living in Washington and he was happy to be in some water that didn't have ice floating around in it.  Great to see him in the water...

What are we Thankful for?  One of the things would be the crew at Brother's Burritos!  They work day-in and day-out and kinda get taken for granted.  But let them miss one day and everyone walks around in a daze.  From L to R:  Yoshi, Sara, Vicente and Sydney...

Okay, so hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and hope your holidays are filled with warm fuzziness...  (#4 No Tofurkey was used in this dinner.)

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
