Crayfish Castle Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...
#1)  Here we have a "Crayfish Castle."  The crayfish build these mounds out of the mud in which they live and live in the bottom of these towers.  We had no idea.  We thought they lived in rocks, along the bottom of creeks and in places where they could feast on your toes if you got too close.  Everything we knew was wrong.  What we did know was that this was a bad year for crayfish.  For whatever reason, the catch was at an all time low.  The prices have risen and many restaurants are taking them off the menu for the time being.  The fact that Jetski and Clarke eat several pounds a year couldn't possibly have any impact...

Overcast this morning in the South Bay with 5 miles visibility.  Winds were out of the west by 1 to 2 kts and the surface was lightly textured.  The air was 55.2º and the water is an uninspiring 56.8º.  Low tide is at 8:17am -0.2' and high tide will follow at 3:57pm +2.9'.  There's a SW swell out of 226º at 2.3' and it was a weak 2' to almost 3' and awfully chilly for the experience...

Forecasting rain in the P.M. mañana, so the possibility of some water time in the morning is distinct.  Then, there's always coffee...

Lost Boys & Co... Wouldn't it be nice to have some surf to report about?  The simple answer is "yes."  But, and it's a big BUT, we're going to forge ahead and give you the particulars anyway.  5 miles visibility and pretty hazy conditions although it looks like the sun is trying to melt the haze.  Winds were offshore by 1 to 3kts. and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 64.5º and the water is 65.8º.  High tide is at 10:14am +5.6' and low tide follows at 4:55pm +0.6' (Maybe good for a walk on the hard sand.  Don't step on a bee.  Been lots of them on the shallow sand.)  SSW swell out of 206º at 2.3' and it was half of that on the beach.  Just to whet your appetite we've included this shot of the Professor in Nicaragua at "Soupbowls", or "Chicken Soup", or "Noodles".  They were all lefts...

Lost Boys & Co... F ound these cool sweatshirts (#1) at Spyder on the Plaza.  They show all of the cool South Bay surf spots and wave magnets.  We managed to get these cool women to show off the threads... H eavy overcast and not quite 7 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore by 2 to 4kts and the surface was generously textured.  The air was 58.5º and the water is 58.5º.  Overcast, windy and chilly, this isn't sounding great is it?  Low tide is at 11:46am +0.6' and high tide follows late at 6:44pm +4.3'.  It's a SSW swell out of 212º at 2.3' and that's about how big it was with a few fatter outsides. F or those of you who knew Brian Sullivan his funeral will be held at St. Lawrence Church at 1pm on Saturday.  Still can't quite believe he's gone... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
