X-Ray Vision Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

"Blue Burnsy Blade Beats Back Big Bomborra Breakers"  (#1)  Finally, this weekend she was able to get the new whip into the water and give it a proper go.  Still working out some of the new board dynamics, she was impressed with the paddling and wave catching abilities and should be hanging out on the nose any time now.  Don't mention that it looks remotely like a Wave Storm, unless you want to get your orthodontics realigned...

Summer is running on empty as the heat wave is due to cool off this week.  10 miles visibility and hazy sunshine.  Winds were consistent out of the south at 3 to 5kts.  The sea surface was roughed up a bit and there were short wave intervals.  The air temperature was 66.1º and the water dropped a couple to 69.8º.  Low tide at 5:41am +2.5' and high tide fills in at 12:50pm +4.9'.  Setting up for some single tide days later in the week.  A mainly south swell out of 195º at 3.3'.  It was 3' with some bigger walls coming through.

No this isn't Dr. Nefario - It's our own Doc Scale (#2) who's been experimenting with X-ray glasses since the 60's.  He got his first pair from the back of a DC Comic book, which were sent to him by mistake when he ordered a packet of Sea Monkeys™.  A tireless innovator he initially could see through nylon stockings and fish net, whereas this latest iteration can see through tinted windows, shrink wrap and welders goggles.  10% inspiration, 90% perspiration...

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!!
