Lost Boys & Co... T he Seahawks really did a great job this morning!  Marian fielded one of the better teams she's had in recent memory, and they did a great job.  RUHS got first in every heat and we'll just show the number 1's.  Next week will be Redondo against rival Mira Costa and you can bet there will be some amazing surfing! T he #1's:  Heat #1 SB:  Kai Milan-Thomas,  Heat #2 SB:  Dylan Morrisroe (with a 12.03 for the highest heat total of the day!), Heat #3 SB:  London Meza, Heat #4 LB: Sheamus Swift (who by the way was just accepted to UCLA!)  Heat #5 LB:  JuJu Sleeis, Heat #6 SB:  Parker Murphy, Heat #7 SB:  Charlie Lentz. C loudy this morning with low overcast.  Winds were offshore 2 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a damp 57.9 º and the water was even damper at 63.3 º .  High tide was at 5:26am +5.0' and low tide follows at 12:55pm -0.6'.  It's a 2.3'SSW swell out of 194 º ...

Lost Boys & Co... Y es good citizens, Spring has sprung and our Red Leaf Maple (#1) on the Mar y Fuego grounds has agreed to be the first to announce its arrival.  Spring on... G ray this morning breaking into warmish sunshine (#2).  Winds were offshore 2 to 4kts and the sea surface had a light tack.  The air was 61.5 º  and the water is 63.7 º  at the buoy, but slated at 65 º  on the tower.  Low tide was at 11:58am -0.4' and high tide follows late at 7:16pm +3.6'.  It's a 2.3' SSW out of 198 º  and it was jumping to 3'+ and rolling along that middle sandbar.  Pretty fun spring surf... T hen there's this rather loud and confusing signage on the Strand in front of Scottie's (#3).  Why is the text facing toward the building rather than away?  Do they want you to walk against the windows to get a better view of the patrons?  Who signs off on this stuff?  The word is they are going to put tables out front.  Thoug...

Mithridatized Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... O kay, it's not what it looks like.  What it looks like is that the Professor and his Great Granddaughter (#1) are having a snort in the man-cave while discussing the Seahawk roster for the next competition.  What's really happening is that the Professor has just removed an entire tar pit from Scarlett's foot with his magic tar remover, while discussing the roster for the next RUHS competition.  That's our story and we're sticking with it... O vercast this morning with 5 miles visibility.  Winds were light and variable out of the SW by 1 to 2kts.  The sea surface was slightly tacked.  The air temperature was 61.0 º  and the water was 63.3 º .  Low tide was at 7:36am -0.2' and high tide was at 2:08pm +2.8'.  It was a drawn out SSW swell out of 202 º  at 2.6', hitting the line up at 3' to 4'.  Kids, Dads, hodads and pedestrians we're trying but the standout of the morning was Brendan "Cat" Simmons.  On it du...

Vernal Equinox Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... T hings are not always equal, but today the day and night are, before we start sliding toward summer.  Considering how hot it's been we're having a difficult time imagining summer.  But you know how that goes, it'll probably be foggy for the next five months (does reverse psychology work on the weather?) H azy skies with 10 miles visibility.  No wind to speak of and smooth surface conditions.  The air was 58.8 º  and the water is 63.9 º !  High tide is at 10:51am +4.6' and low tide follows at 4:39pm +0.5'.  It's a 2.6' swell out of the SSW, 205 º .  The high tide is filling it in, but not before Doc and the Professor got a couple at the pier! (#1). D onnie is doing a lot better and to wrap "Donnie Week" we have this pic of him and the crew (#2) in Nicaragua spitting into the wind...  ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
