Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... W e're slightly stoked today since two of the members of the Redondo Seahawks Surf Team finished 1st and 3rd in the Men's Kick Off Classic Contest.  There were 180 contestants to start and Dylan Morrisroe and Tyler Anderson made it to the winners dais.  Dylan is a freshman and Tyler is a sophomore, so we're thinking that bodes well for the Seahawk surf season! L ight clouds this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore by 2kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was warmer this morning at 48.0º and the water is definitely wintered at 58.6º.  Low tide was at 10:11am +2.6' and high tide followed at 2:57pm +3.6'.  There's a WSW swell out of 245º at 2.3' and it was 3' to 4' at 26th St. for the contest! O ne year ago today Burnsy, won this blade (#1) from the "Pink Board Project."  A little shorter than her usual ride it still took four of them to carry it. 25 years ago SeaWolf took this shot of Go

Lost Boys & Co... It must have been COLD, look at the nose on this elf (#1)!  Yeah, well, we have some hot rum to get some circulation to those nares in no-time flat... Clear and cold this morning with 10 miles visibility and offshore winds at 2 to 3kts.  The sea surface was smooth and the wind chill brought things down to 40.5º, while the water was a brisk 58.5º.  Low tide was at 8:39am +3.1' and high tide followed at 1:22pm +3.9' for not much of a change at all.  We had a WSW swell out of 258º at 2.3' and it was 3' with an occasional bigger set.  The Professor and Burnsy ended up on the south side of 10.5th St. and Donnie showed up and got some rights at 10th.  Cold, but the sun helped things out... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... " O UTSIDE!"  And this (#1) was it...  A pretty little wave, the operative word being little.  Taking a closer look would tell you that it was breaking in about 6" of water and that it might have generated enough power to push a third grader to the beach.  But it was a beautiful morning, with mostly clear skies and 20 miles visibility (you can see those big puffy clouds out on the horizon).  Winds were offshore, albeit 45º, but the water is still holding at 61.2º.  High tide was at 8:18am +6.2' and low tide followed at 3:43pm -0.6'.  We had a weak west swell out of 263º at 2.0' and the surf was just about half that... M ost people wait for Santa at the mall so they can sit on his lap and recite their X-mas list.  Not Purpus.  He hunted St. Nick down and started jabbering at him with his requests.   Not quite sure what Santa said, but Purp's latest write-up in this month's Surfer's Journal was a nice Christmas present... ✠ &qu
