Lost Boys & Co... O kay, it's official, the new Pope is Cardinal Robert Prevost, who's taken the name Leo XIV (#1).  He's the first American Pope and the first Pope who is younger than many of us!   12 miles visibility under clear skies and onshore winds 3 to 5kts.  The sea surface was slightly textured.  The air temp at checkout was 57.5 º and the water is 61.0 º.  High tide was at 7:46am +3.9' and low tide will follow at 1:33pm +0.9'.  There's a SSW swell out of 198 º at 3.3' and it was exactly that this morning! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... H ow many times has this bumper (#1) been Bondoed?  Good visual though... O dds on the new Pope as the Conclave starts today: Pietro Parolin (30% chance) Luis Antonio Tagle (20%) Pierbattista Pizzaballa (11%) Matteo Zuppi (9%) Peter Erdo (6%) Jean-Marc Aveline (6%) Peter Turkson (5%) Fridolin Ambongo (3%) Anders Arborelius (2%) Mario Grech (2%) Not saying the odds on anyone are particularly strong, But we're going with Pizzaballa because what a great name for a Pope! D ay started out with partly cloudy skies and then the clouds closed in and the temps dropped.  The air was 58.0 º and the water is 62. 1º and let's hope the wind doesn't drop the temperature.  Currently it's 10 to 15kts and the sea surface is white capped.  High tide was at 6:55am +4.0' and low tide will be at 1"06pm +0.6'.  It's a SSW swell out of 204 º at 3.3' and it was a solid 4' close to the sand this morning.

Lost Boys & Co... T hings don't always work out the way you like.  Like this morning when the Redondo Seahawks lost to Mira Costa.  Redondo lead for most of the contest and suddenly 'Costa woke up.  Some of the RUHS standouts were: 1st:  Tyler Anderson, Dylan Morrisroe, Keani Honda-Snow, Sheamus Swift and Jake Kislinger. 2nd: Soren Roed, Umi Morimoto and Giselle Dellaripa. After all those stellar performances it was MCHS 76 to RUHS 71. 15 miles visibility under cloudy skies.  Winds were light out of the SE by 1 to 3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 57.0 º and the water is 61.5 º .  Low tide was at 7:16am -1.0' and high tide follows at 2:22pm +3.3'.  We have a SSW swell out of 195 º at 2.6' and that's about the size of it...
