Full Moon Tuesday Surf &Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

You know how when you're a finalist and they're calling the names of the finishers and you're not sixth and then not fifth and then not fourth.  So you know you're in the top three and then they announce number three and it's not you, so dammit it's between you and that other person for first.  Then they announce the other name for second and you know you WON!  Nope, we've never been there, but Millie and Christian have and here (#1) they are with their first place trophies!  Contest was at Church's and they both aced their lead-up heats and won the gold. 

Meanwhile it was raining this morning.  Yes, rain.  3 miles visibility under cloudy skies.  Winds were on shore 8 to 10kts and the sea surface is challenged.  The air was 58.7º and the water is 59.0º.  High tide is at 9:56am +4.0' and low tide will be at 3:17pm +1.3'.  It's a full moon SSW swell out of 193º at 3.3' and the wind is blowing down three footers to a fine mush...

The L.A. Rams have come to Hermosa Beach.  That might be the one thing Hermosa is lacking, a football team.  They are building a football field on the sand and are planning to have events over the next week and a half.  Parking will be a chaotic mess, people will be driving on the sidewalks and it might be hard to get to the beach.  So, what would Hermosa call their team?  We'll post the best guesses...

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... Some of you know that the Professor has sparred with some health issues recently.  He submitted this (Attachment) t

We Came On Different Ships, But We're All In The Same Boat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

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!!
