Image
Lost Boys & Co... W here did you go on Senior Ditch Day?  Or was it even a thing at your school?  The Redondo class of '68 went to Catalina and I've heard that Eric Phelan finally got out of jail...  These lucky seniors (#1) got to go to Hermosa on this overcast morning - good news was that it finally got sunny! B ut it started out cloudy with 9 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore, 1 to 3kts and the sea surface had a light wind tack.  The air temp was 60.0 º  and the water is 62.6 º .  Low tide was at 9:34am +0.4' and high tide followed at 5:51pm +3.4'.  It was a SSW swell out of 202 º  at 2.0' and it was a fun 2' to 3'...  Like this little runner: (#2). ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
