Wallaroo Wednesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
An wallaroo is a large reddish gray kangaroo found in the Port Jackson area of Australia. Sometimes it's just impossible to not use a word like wallaroo. That's all about that...
A beautiful morning here in the Beach Cities. 25 miles visibility under sunny skies and 3.9kt winds out of the NE. The sea surface has a short bump to it, which is a little odd, considering that it wasn't blowing that much yesterday. The air temperature was 52.5° at checkout and the water was 56.5°. We can't tell you how much we'd like it to warm up! This cold water thing seems to go on forever... High tide is at 5:04am +4.0' and low tide will be at 12:24pm +0.4'. The buoy was reading a strong west swell out of 279° at 4.9' and we're calling it 3' to 5' and very crunchy. Topaz and Sapphire were both breaking with considerable authority and any wipeout meant specific and general macro-derm abrasion therapy. The water feels harder when it's cold and if you add copious quantities of sand to that - it's like taking a ride in the barrel of a cement mixer... though probably not so dark... and without all that gooey cement... you know...
Finally, our photo today was taken by Gidget on a bike ride to Hermosa. She said she gave this little alien looking guy a ride and the next thing she knew...
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
