Where The Sidewalk Ends Monday Surf & Culture report



Lost Boys & Co...

Not only is fall in the air, but it's on the calendar as well!  Yep, it's our first report of the season as we sprinkle ourselves with cinnamon and pumpkin spice...

Gray skies and limited visibility with patches of random fog.  Winds are out of the south by 1 to 3kts and the sea surface is lightly textured.  The air was 62.2º at checkout and the water temperature is 65.7º.  Getting uncomfortably close to a season defining 65º.  Low tide was at 6:38am +2.8' and high tide will be at 1:27pm +5.6'.  It's a minuscule 1.6' SSW swell out of 193º and it's about half of that on the beach...

In all fairness the sign (#1) says "No Parking or Stopping Anytime" and then goes on to say "No Motorized Vehicles... On STRAND."  So this fellow taking things on face value didn't stop on the Strand, but made it all the way to the sand.  When the local constabulary arrived they couldn't quite figure out what to do.  They posited that the sand was county property and they are Hermosa cops.  So they waited for backup and by the time the third prowler got there, a helpful citizen had helped the guy get his car onto the concrete and he was backing up threatening to run into the Brother's patio.  He looked like he was fourteen and when he got through thanking the guy who helped him, he wondered why Pacific Coast Highway ended so abruptly.  Yeah, what's with that...?

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!!

Lost Boys & Co... Out on the Gulf of Mexico riding some interesting three footers in Freeport.  So here we are with the Maharishi after riding the outside at the "Octagon" jetty.  South wind is blowing at 10kts and it's bit textured, but it was fun and a great workout! More as we explore the area! Hope you all had a Happy Easter! "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
