The De-calcification Of The Pineal Gland Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

It's hard to get past Descartes believing that the pineal gland had mystical purposes.  Even though it was finally identified as a neuroendocrine organ, that seems to really mean the same thing, right?  René did believe it was the seat of the soul, but how do you get all that soul into a gland that size?  Lots of questions, but it remains, keep up the blood flow and make sure you regularly de-calcify that puppy...

When Morgan says, "Surf right in front of the 10th St. tower!" you'd better be prepared to do that.  It was overcast and 5 miles visibility with side shore winds from the south at 3 to 5kts.  The surface was lightly textured.  The air temp was 60.0º and the water was 57.6º at go-out.  The good news is that it's creeping to 60º-61º during mid-day.  Let's see if we can string a few sunny days together.  Low tide was at 5:04am -1.4' and high tide follows at 11:36am +3.7'.  It's a 3.0' SW swell out of 220º and it was 3' in the surfline and broke in a nice peak right in front of the 10th St. tower.  Like Morgan said...

Wednesday / Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... I t's one of those mornings when the photo (#1) looks better than the actual surf.  Really, it's gray and about 7 miles visibility under that low overcast.  Winds are light offshore 1 to 3kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 58.0 º  and the water is 61.9 º  at the buoy, but they're calling it 66 º  on the lifeguard chalkboard.  High tide was at 8:24am +4.0' and low tide follows at 1:42pm +1.1'.  It's a SW swell out of 222 º  at 3.0'.  It's a solid 3'+ but it's smacking the sand with a real snap.  A few more degrees and this would be a good boogie/whomping morning...  T his Saturday is the closing party for the latest VEFA show "Monumental" which showcases the sculptural works of Andy Scott.  6 to 8pm at the gallery on 16th.  On display are sketches, maquettes and a large scale steel equine artwork (#2)... ✠ ...
