Tlayuda Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... A nd then it was over...  Like most surf trips this one was over way too soon.  Some good waves, great company and way too much good food, with a couple of new restaurants to make things even more exciting!  So, here's a shot of the sun (#1) coming up over the bay by Jodi Flicker to start things off.  We get a lot of sun set action, so it was fun to watch the big orange ball come up in the east over the water for a change... A beautiful morning in the South Bay with 10+ miles visibility and light clouds.  Winds were off shore by 1 to 3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was chilly at 46.6º and the water was frigid at 57.9º (after 82º Mexican water.)  High tide was at 10:06am +5.7' and low tide follows at 5:10pm -0.5'.  It was a 2.3' swell out of the west 266º and it was a bit thumpy at 3' to 4'. O ur hearts go out to all of the folks affected by the fires.  Watching from hundreds of miles away, it was surreal a...

Surfing With The Barbarians Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... W e were watching Brendan Simmons (#1) in the water the other day and were thinking he reminded us of someone, then it donned on us that it was Donald Takayama.  That same quickness and cat-like approach, then a big move at the end of the wave to put a cap on the entire proceedings.  He also rides a number of different shapes like Takayama did, but he might be a better shortboarder than D.T. T he ghastly crumb foggies were obscuring the surfline this morning.  Winds were variable to 3kts. and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a soggy 51.3º and the water is 57.7º.  High tide is at 10:41am +5.7' and low tide follows at 5:57pm -0.5'.  It's a typical WSW swell out of 257º at 3.3' and it was (according to people who claimed to see it) 3' to 4'... O k, so we're heading down to Mexico with the crew to do some jungle recon.  We're trying to decide if we should bring our iPad down to stay in contact or wait to inundate you when we g...

What A Fool Believes Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... H ow often does that happen? You're rolling along groovin' to some Yacht Music (we just found out that's a thing) and suddenly you spill the dish washing soap all over your new seat covers, your backup camera malfunctions and you're out of duct tape.  Well surfers, it's a new year and you have time to rectify all of these small things before heading into deep water... T oday's photo (#1) features Nupes as she glides toward the pier saluting Burnsy as she smokes on to the pier.  It was a sunny chamber of commerce morning in the South Bay until the fog came rolling in San Francisco style around 10:30.  Winds were light offshore and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a chilly 45.6º and the water is 57.2º.  Hi gh tide will be at 9:57am +6.1' and low tide follows at 5:19pm -0.9'.  It's a WSW swell out of 252º at 3.0' and it was 3' to 4' making it a great week of surf and celebration... S o last night we were running...

Well It's Happy New Year's Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... " E verything should be soaked in brandy," were the exact words from LoLa's recipe for fruitcake.  One time the power went out and when we went to light candles we got too close to the fruitcake.  It burst into flame and stayed lit until the lights came back on hours later. W e thought we'd include this (#1) iconic image of Gabriel Medina at Teahupo'o to kick off (or out) the year.  A brilliant photo by Jérome Brouilett! F oggy with less than ¼mile visibility.Winds were light offshore and the sea surface was occluded by the aforementioned fog.  The air temperature was 55.5º and the water s 57.2º.  High tide was at 9:15am +6.4' and low tide will beat 4:42pm -1.1'.  A WSW swell out of 255º at 3.9', so it was at least 3' and probably bigger. ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

One More Night Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... H ere (#1) we have Eli Mosian working a small bump on the inside.  He actually caught some pretty big bombers during this session, but every time we got our camera ready it would go flat. O vercast with 5 miles visibility, winds out of the north by 0 to 2kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air was 52.2º and the water is a chilly 57.4º.  High tide was at 8:35am +6.4' and low tide will be at 4:05pm -1.1'.  It's a west swell out of 260º at 4.9' and it's breaking 4' to 6'+ and there are some walls with the occasional corner.  B e careful tonight and have a Happy New Year's Eve.  We're going to hide and bring in the new year with New York! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
