Things Are Closer Than They Appear Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

When you're ready for your burrito nothing like a mere-shmere screen is going to get in your way.  But honestly staring at Yoshi while he's making your "Soul Surfer with pinto and bacon" isn't going to make it go faster.  Of course unless you look up and see the puppy looking so forlorn... that works as long as you're not Kristi Noem...

Then of course the surf this morning was a bit smaller than yesterday.  It was 7 miles visibility under overcast skies with a lively south wind blowing out of 180º.  A bit of texture on the surface.  The air was 57.3º and felt like 48º, according to our mayor (like he should know), and the water at the buoy is 59.4º which would be wonderful if it were true.  Still feels like 58.  Low tide is at 11:50am -0.2'.  A west swell out of 272º at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3'.

Of course we have our favorite director Anna Burns showing two of her films at the Dana Point Film Festival.  On Friday she's premiering her new movie "Beyond Normal" and one of her older flicks.  Starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday check out their web site at www.danapointfilmfestival.org!

Some Days Are Wednesdays Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... O ut here in the great wilderness we spent most of a week with Brother Miloe and Billie Bob Mason skidding down the various slopes of Brundage Mountain near McCall, Idaho.  Conditions varied, but for the most part it was spring skiing and the last couple of days were downright hot!  Temps were in the 50's and when you're skiing that tends to warm things up a bit.  We were down to bare knuckles and T-shirts under our nylon shells.  No crowds! (#1) A good time was had by all until Julia got stuck in some gooey snow and pulled a hip bone.  Nothing serious, but they wrapped her burrito style and the Ski Patrol slid her down the mountain where she began to come around fairly quickly...  This is what happens when you go slow! W e have no idea what's going on with the buoys!  The 46221 Buoy had the water temp this morning at 56.8° which is the coldest we've recorded this year!  Brrr!  High tide was at 7:23am +4.7' and low tide is at 2:24pm -0.4'.

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!!
