Not Many Waves But Lots of Horizon Out There Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Editor's Note:  I'm going to first apologize for anyone who got a message from me via "Snap Raise" to raise money for the Redondo Surf Team.  I wanted to write a personal note, but my unfamiliarity with the site caused me to send out all my addresses with some boilerplate note.  That being said, the Surf Team is raising money and your donations will go a long way in making our program successful.  I tried to tag folks who have some connection to the school, being alumni, local surfers or part of the Familia.  Thank you for your consideration and if you want to help and you didn't get a note, go to http://raise.snap.app/join_code/923414119 and make your donation!  You guys are the best!  Coach Frank

Morning dawned clear and cool with some lingering fog on the outside.  Winds were calm and seas were glassy (#1).  The air temp was 55.0º and the water is a Fallish 65.3º.  One tide today at 12:56pm +4.8'.  We have a SW swell out of 219º at 2.0' and it was almost 1' and poor.  Not to be skunked the crew made it down to King Harbor to do some more SUP recon.  Joining us for his first time on a SUP was Doc Scale.  He performed admirably, as you can imagine and made the entire trek from Ronnie & Michael's boat, around the bell-buoy and back!  Pretty good for his maiden voyage...

Okay, so we're on the road until December 1st, when we'll start careening toward the Holidays.  Look for us on Instagram and we'll try and send some pics as we bump along.  Still no definitive word on the Nile River bore, but rest assured inquiries will be made!  See you soon!

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
