Lost Boys & Co... W e like it hot.  It doesn't get that hot around here most of the time, but this is edging into our wheelhouse.  Yep, a scorcher!  So it started out this morning at 76.0 º  and the water was 73.8 º .  Winds were warm offshore 2 to 6kts and designed to dry you out.  Stay hydrated.  High tide was at 9:40am +5.4' and low tide follows at 3:24pm +0.9', when we plan to be on the beach soaking in some cool water.  The swell is out of the SW 225 º  at 2.6' and that 's about the size of it.  Looked fabu from the Hermosa Pier (#1). W e thought these were anchovies (#2) but nay nay!  They are forage fish.  Maybe anchovies can be forage fish, or grunion, or sardines?  Maybe 'Nupes can weigh in on this! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

N o matter what we always check the board.  Thought it was clever the way the guard made the caution "C" into a wave (#2).  We immediately thought, "We gotta do that!"  No "C" is safe... ✠ *Pay attention!
