Pain In The Neck Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... We're back!  Bent but not broken… Another beautiful Southern California day.  20miles visibility and wind out of the northwest at 10 to 15kts.  The sea surface is predictably jumbled with some attendant chop.  The air was 54.9 at checkout and the water is 60.6.  High tide is at 6:09am +5.8' and low tide is at 12:34pm +0.6'.  It's a WSW swell out of 259degrees at 3.9' and it's a complicated 3' to 4'.  Maybe better maƱana if the wind lays off!  "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... L adies and Gentlemen!  We're saying take a deep breath, relax and go surf a few.  Like Anupa here yesterday. (#1)  Been hectic for this campaign season and we all need a break.  Maybe our overloaded text messages will decrease by a significant number now. T he good news is that the internet has calmed down enough for us to get some photos downloaded and check on the local conditions.  15 miles visibility this morning under a few high clouds.  Winds were offshore by 3 to 7kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 52.3Āŗ and the water is 60.6Āŗ.  One tide today, a high at 10:41am +5.4'.  It's a WSW swell out of 255Āŗ at 2.6' and it jumped to 3' to 4' in the sur f line . T he next heats of the Kickoff Classic ran this morning with some good results for the Redondo Seahawks in the Men's Shortboard division!  Check out those who advanced: 1st:  Devon Russell, Dylan Morrisroe 2nd: Rylan Gracie, Soren Roed 3rd:  Tyler Anderson

Use Nauseous In A Sentence Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... Fabulous day for the internet to go batshit (auto correct was adamant that it should be "battleship") crazy.  At least you could argue that there is something newsworthy.  We are nauseously optimistic that this will all be settled soon...  Beautiful day here in LaLa land!  Sunny and warm it was 51.5Āŗ at checkout and the water is 59.9Āŗ dipping into the 50's for the first time since we almost had a summer.  Winds were steady offshore 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  High tide was at 9:58am +5.7' and low tide is at 6:03pm (in the dark!) +0.2'.  We have a SSW swell out of 202Āŗ at 2.6' and it was 3' to 4' and a bit walled but still looked accommodating. The internet wouldn't let us download today's photos, which are actually pretty good.  Again more battleship crazy electronic noise.  So this (#1) is one from yesterday and a fine cutback by Christiano himself.   Vote or you can't complain!    ✠ ✠ ✠ "When the

All Of The Saints Friday Surf &Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... A beautiful clear morning as we stare into the abyss.  There it is friends, the Abyss (#1) or the cesspool of the Pacific.  Two things that stood out for us:  1) How high the tide was this morning.  It's a 6'.0" tide at 9:10am but it looks even higher than that.  Cutting some nice scallops on the berm.  2) How far the outfall is from the surf line.  You might recall that last year the outfall was right on the surfline.  Now it's a good 40' from the water! Low tide is at 4:08pm +-0.0'.  This suggests to us that the Amphidromic Point was right about  1:02pm...  We were kinda hoping you'd ask about the Amphidromic Point mostly because we just learned about it from our tidal expert Anupa.  Here: "An amphidromic point, also called a tidal node, is a geographical location where there is little or no difference in sea height between high tide and low tide; it has zero tidal amplitude for one harmonic constituent of the tide .
