In The Middle Of The Lake Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Water, water everywhere and floating is an option.  Yes, here (#1) we are in the middle of Lake Payette enjoying a morning dip before breakfast or lunch or whatever that meal is we're currently going to celebrate.  Water is 69, air is 82 and the winds are calm.

Meanwhile in Hermosa this morning it was a tad foggy and in spots less than 2 miles visibility.  Winds were calm to 4kts out of the SW, while the sea surface is lightly textured.  The water temp keeps fluctuating in a bad way and it got down to 64.8 at the buoy this morning.  Low tide was at 5:45am this morning a -1.0' and high tide will be at 12:12pm +4.3' and filling in all of the interstices very nicely. It's a SSW swell out of 196 degrees at 3.0'and it was 2' to 3' with some interesting sets if you were pure of heart…

And don't ask us if you're pure of heart.  That's between you and the cosmos.  You look good to us, but we are famous for making erroneous assumptions and even worse choices.  Summer is moving along at an appropriate pace, but it can slow down any time it wants.  Surf should be a little bigger mañana, so bring out something fun and capable of whipping some turns.  Doc, think about the fish!

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!!
