Fudge Factor Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

You're walking along minding your own business and you suddenly realize there are creatures staring at you from the rock wall.  If you gotta have a wall, then it might as well have a little pizazz!  There were various animals and scenes all along the wall and we were told that it went all the way around the property.  Even the chimney had a stony sunrise coming up over the roof...

Cloudy this morning with occasional showers and drizzlations.  5 miles visibility.  Winds are offshore by 5.2kts and the sea surface is smooth to glassy.  The air temp has warmed up considerably to 50.4° and the water is 59.4°, which is still warmer than the air.  High tide is at 5:10am +5.8' and low tide will follow at 12:15pm +0.3'.  We have a 4.6' swell out of 263° W.  The waves are having trouble getting through the current high tide, but it looks like if the tide drops we could get some sneakers at most breaks.  Check it out when you can...

Re:  Sympathies & Fallen Trees

Our thoughts and prayer go out to Gigi and family.
On a second note, I hope they put a new tree up quick! That house on Calle Mayor is quite an eyesore!

(Yes, thoughts and prayers to GiGi & Family and TJ & Family as well.  As far as the fallen tree goes, they did cut it down after it failed to right itself...  Ed.)

Re:  Historical Home

Did you not get a picture of the Historical Landmark marker?  Does it actually say "Boomfwappa" on it???

(No mention of Boomfwappa.  We thought it was an "Hysterical" marker!   Ed.)

We Came On Different Ships, But We're All In The Same Boat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... F ound these cool sweatshirts (#1) at Spyder on the Plaza.  They show all of the cool South Bay surf spots and wave magnets.  We managed to get these cool women to show off the threads... H eavy overcast and not quite 7 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore by 2 to 4kts and the surface was generously textured.  The air was 58.5º and the water is 58.5º.  Overcast, windy and chilly, this isn't sounding great is it?  Low tide is at 11:46am +0.6' and high tide follows late at 6:44pm +4.3'.  It's a SSW swell out of 212º at 2.3' and that's about how big it was with a few fatter outsides. F or those of you who knew Brian Sullivan his funeral will be held at St. Lawrence Church at 1pm on Saturday.  Still can't quite believe he's gone... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Teach A Fish To Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... Wouldn't it be nice to have some surf to report about?  The simple answer is "yes."  But, and it's a big BUT, we're going to forge ahead and give you the particulars anyway.  5 miles visibility and pretty hazy conditions although it looks like the sun is trying to melt the haze.  Winds were offshore by 1 to 3kts. and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 64.5º and the water is 65.8º.  High tide is at 10:14am +5.6' and low tide follows at 4:55pm +0.6' (Maybe good for a walk on the hard sand.  Don't step on a bee.  Been lots of them on the shallow sand.)  SSW swell out of 206º at 2.3' and it was half of that on the beach.  Just to whet your appetite we've included this shot of the Professor in Nicaragua at "Soupbowls", or "Chicken Soup", or "Noodles".  They were all lefts... Some of you know that the Professor has sparred with some health issues recently.  He submitted this (Attachment) t...
