Mesalliance Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

South Carolina Surf  Report:
1-3 ft., choppy & windy at The Washout, Folly Beach, South Carolina, for the Wahine Classic.  The picture shows  a competitor in an afternoon heat, and I do mean heat...about 90 degrees with 85% humidity on the beach.  I've been assured by a couple of locals that it does get good here especially before a hurricane strikes!
In keeping with Lost Boy tradition, I've also attached a shot of a Charleston storm sewer cover.
We are gettin' some fine Gullah and Low Country food and culture...bring on the grits!

On our own coast, overcast with 7 miles visibility.  Looks like it might clear late morning to early afternoon.  Winds were onshore from the get-go, 3.9kts at checkout with a light surface chop.  The air temperature was 62.2° and the water jumped into the 60's at 62.4°.  High tide was at 6:53am +3.1' and low tide will be at 11:49am +1.8'.  The 46221 buoy is reading a W swell out of 269° at 3.9' and we're calling it 3' to 5' at Topaz with some thick ones coming through.  Some of the outsides were designed to put a bit of pucker in your back pocket region.  It's fair to good, but the wind was making it a bit bumpy.

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...
