I See The Ocean First Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

When we were kids and rode to the beach we would have a contest to see who could spot the ocean first.  Pretty sure a couple of times we almost caused our dad to swerve off the rode and on several occasions he offered to drown us when we got to the beach.  That being said, coming over the hill from SLO to Pismo there's this rise that you come over on the way to the beach.  Perfect spot for the sharp eyed youngster to see the ocean first.  This time it was a tie!

Meanwhile, it started out being clear this morning and as the wind shifted it brought in some light fog.  Also dropped a few degrees, making it less than shorts weather.  So it began with 10 miles visibility and not much wind and calm seas.  The air temperature was 54.3º and the water is back to 57.2º.  It was in the low 50's in Morro Bay, not that it would make you feel better.  One tide for the next four days and this morning it was -0.1' at 8:38am.  It's a west swell out of 265º at 3.0' and it started out okay and then got crashy with the lowering tide.

A beautiful time of year on the Central Coast, before the overcast summer months.  We went to the SLO Film Festival and saw some great short films, had some delicious grinds and Morgan and Christian managed to hit the surf and not end up as icebergs.  If you ever get the chance it makes for a great weekend road trip in April.  A couple more snaps during the week...

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!!
