Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... S o just about the time we walked out on the pier there was this gust of wind that tipped the KYHC anemometer (#1) at 39kts, which is 45mph!  It blew all of the fishermen off the pier (#2) and swept them down the beach to the harbor.  It did, however, create this marvelous Saharan landscape (#3) that is still smoothing things out. I t was 10 miles visibility through hazy blowing sand out of the north by 20 to almost 40kts.  The sea surface was windswept and blown out.  The air temp was 53.6 º  and the water is holding at 59.7 º .  High tide is at 10:03am +4.7' and low tide follows at 4:07pm +0.4'.  It's a west swell out of 274 º  at 4.6' and it's probably 4' to 6', but almost impossible to gauge with the wind... ✠   "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... A ll things considered it's a pretty typical late winter's day here in Southern California.  Cloudy (#1) with 9 miles visibility and winds, light out of the east by 1 to 3kts.  The air temperature was 53.9 º  at checkout and the water is 59.9 º .  High tide was at 9:25am +5.3' and low tide will be at 3:48pm -0.3'.  We have a 3.0' west swell out of 267 º  and it was a mushy 3' to 4' and hard to get into.  Supposed to get windy tonight and tomorrow and maybe switch around on Friday... W e were going through some of the pics that we took of our trip to Idaho last week.  We realized that this shot of the Professor, besides showing his sloppy form, had no one else in the photo.  The entire run is empty!  In all honesty the snow wasn't that great, but Brundage Mountain is known for it's uncrowded slopes.  This was on the "Temptation" run after they had opened the main high speed chair to the crest.  Everyone jus...

Lost Boys & Co... F rom Coach Avery... W e had a historic weekend at the NSSA State Championships at Seaside Reef. For the first time in school history, we had both a male (Dylan Morrisroe) and a female (London Meza) shortboarder advance to the individual finals. In addition, for only the second time in program history, Sheamus Swift made the individual finals in longboard.  As a team, we also earned our highest overall finish ever — with Varsity placing 4th overall and JV placing 3rd overall.  (#1) Owen and Nico showing off the team trophies. A pretty morning with 10 miles visibility under mostly clear skies.  Calm winds and a rolling sea surface.  The air temperature was 53.3 º  and the water is hovering around 59.5 º .  High tide was at 8:48am +5.8' and low tide was at 3:17pm -0.7'.  It's that persistent west swell out of 263 º at 3.9' and it was a bit bigger with outsides about ear high. S upposed to blow on Thursday and then turn aro...

Lost Boys & Co... W e were all set to dazzle you with some photographic images and our pics somehow went south.  So here are the conditions... O nshore winds all day 5 to 10kts and the sea surface is choppy.  The air was 57.0 º  and the water is right around 59.9 º .  High tide was at 8:08am +6.1' and low tide will be at 2:50pm -1.0'.  It's a west swell out of 275 º  at 4.3' and it was 3' to 5' but super mushy and breaking on the sand.  Maybe mañana ... T he NSSA meet was this last weekend and Redondo was on fire!  We'll have the results tomorrow! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... W atch out who you hang out with in high school because you might find yourself skiing with them like 50 years later.  Yeah, it's Tim, Frank and Brian up at Brundage causing problems wherever they go.  To their credit they did help those folks who ran off the road, but everyone else would say something like, "Oh you guys again…" B eautiful morning in the South Bay, with good visibility under a hazy sun.  Winds are out of the west by 1 to 2kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air is 59.6 º and the water is 59.9 º.  With a little sun we might see it hit 60 again.  High tide early at 4:34am +5.3' and low tide follows at 12:27pm -0.8'.  There's a west swell out of 261 º at 3.0'and it's 3' to 4' and could be a fine day to exercise your chops. O ur sympathies to Clarke who lost his sister this week.  He needs a hug!   "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co...   S o, we'd had a good day skidding around the slopes and we were feeling pretty saucy when we came around this corner and saw this car that had launched itself over the edge of the road and was trying to bend to gravity and roll the recast of the ay down the embankment.  We spun around and leaped out offering our assistance.  Now Herkimer, shown here (#1) standing in the doorway was dead set on going down with the ship.  The Professor suggested he get out of the vehicle and he responded by saying "Says who?!"  The Professor said, "Okay jump in the car and get on with your own bad self!" Along with Herkimer was his girlfriend Bambi, two dogs and their ward, 4 year old Louis.  Shortly the fire department showed up and we took our leave, but we left them pretty disoriented and a bit wacked.   Turns out Herky had passed out, gone across the road and blew over the edge.  Better have that checked Herk… M eanwhile at home it was ha...
