Tuna Fish Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Okay, so If you've been following the report, you know we've been worm-holed to the dark side of Boogie-land.  Like this morning when José Bacallao, Rocket Miller, Burnsy, the Professor and Ronnie hit the overhead grinders, much to their delight.  To top it off Logan Nelson (recently from Colorado) joined us for some tips on improving his surfing.  On the way back to the future who should stop us but the body board, bodysurfing champion of the entire universe (known and unknown) John Shearer!  He quite literally mowed folks down on the Strand to take this shot of Burnsy, Rocket and the Professor (#1).  Apparently he wanted photographic evidence when we deny the whole thing...

A sense of impending Fall is in the air, but we're holding on to the last vestiges of summer.  We're good 'til October right?  10 miles visibility under heavy overcast.  Winds dropping out of the south at 1 to 4kts.  The air was 62.1º and the water is holding at 70.5º.  High tide was at 9:02am +4.3' and low tide follows at 1:50pm +2.4'.  Out of the SSW (196º) at 2.3' and it was a folding 2' to 3' and trying to open some lefts for the pure of heart.  Yes, it was fun...

The good news is that there will be a gathering of the familia in the morning armed with their sponges, mats, paipos and rockets.  Not that we need to say this but:  Checkout at 7:30am, on the Hermosa Pier.  A water start at approximately 8am.  All ages welcome, few rules and a post session meeting at Brothers Burritos.  Your participation will be your reward!

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!!
