Nicola Tesla Tuesday Surf & Culture Report


Lost Boys & Co…

Thank you, we're back...

What is it about electricity?  Ours went out and we've been computerless for three days.  But it only went out in certain spots, one of them running the Wi-Fi, internet and computer.  Not to mention the sprinkler system, the heater and the tunes.  Good news, the fridge and the garage door are still running.  The electrician says it looks like a short, but we're thinking it could be a long… As in the electrons are looking for another path but it's too long to make all the aforementioned stuff work… Nicola would be proud…

The ocean looks like chocolate or actually more like Yoo-Hoo™ chocolate drink.  Red tide.  10 miles visibility under partly cloudy skies.  Wind were out of the NW by 2 to 4kts and the sea surface was ruggedly textured.  The air was 53.6º and the water was 57.2º despite the 64º reading on the Lifeguard board.  High tide was at 9:16am +3.6' and low tide will be at 2:08pm +1.8'.  It's a SSW swell out of 199º at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' and the rising tide made it difficult to catch anything good.  Later it looked like Laurie and her friends had better luck closer to the pier.  Location, location, location...

How many bowlers do we have out there?  Actually more than we imagined.  Here (#1) we have Jetski demonstrating his form and how it lead to him pull a groin muscle.  We always stayed away from bowling alleys because they were loud, smoky and were dens of iniquity.  It turns out they were dangerous as well...  There are better ways to pull a groin muscle...

Teach A Fish To Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report

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!!

Lost Boys & Co... Out on the Gulf of Mexico riding some interesting three footers in Freeport.  So here we are with the Maharishi after riding the outside at the "Octagon" jetty.  South wind is blowing at 10kts and it's bit textured, but it was fun and a great workout! More as we explore the area! Hope you all had a Happy Easter! "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
