The Winner & Still Champion Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Over the years we have been involved with more than a few snot bubble challenges.  Typically it involves laughing so hard that the involuntary expulsion of mucous is quite dramatic.  We would submit James Wheatley's "His beer was in a coozy…" as a prime example.  That year it was the Professor who won with a 2" spheroid that shocked the crew and left a carload of surf gladiators in awe and amazement. However, it is with no lack of pride that we introduce this year's winner, our very own great-granddaughter Rylee Anne Guth, who, in the midst of a cold, sneezed and blew this two and seven eights beauty eclipsing the record by almost an inch.  Congratulations to Rylee and her proud parents!

A bit of the foggies this morning with about a mile visibility.  High tide is at 9:27am 3.2' and low tide follows at 1:03pm 2.6', before rocking another high tide at 7:43pm6.1'.  Winds are out of the SW by 3kts and the sea surface has a bit of light texture. Not ruling out a bit of calming.  Water temp is 67.6 which doesn't even register for Wim Hoff.  It's a SSW swell out of 206 degrees at 3.9' but it's a bit oblique for Hermosa.  2' to 3' and it's summer!

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!!
