Cool It With The Theatrics Thursday Surf & Culture Report




Lost Boys & Co...

Spring has sprung! And that's it right there... In case you thought the missile that almost took out Tandis's eye was some ball point pen sized spring, think again. She also cleaned herself up and showed us the divots. They actually look more a snake bite! Now that would have made for an interesting story! Still thinking she would've looked good with a patch...

You can see all the way to the horizontal today and only a couple of clouds scudding around the troposphere. Winds were 2.2kts offshore at checkout and the sea surface was glassy. The air temp was 49.0° and the water was 52.8°. Not that we didn't believe Rasta Pete - he's always spot-on, but we ran into the lifeguard who did the readings and he confirmed the stats. High tide is at 6:00am +6.4' and low tide will follow at 1:05pm -0.5'. A pretty generous (almost 7') tidal swing. The buoy is reading a west swell out of 260° true, at 2.0'. The resulting waves are just about that big. We went out for a paddle and ended up catching a few little ones on the north side of the Hermosa Pier. Fun, but pretty chilly...

Reminding you that the Riviera Holiday Stroll is taking place tonight. We're having our own scavenger hunt and it entails finding as many Lost Boys as you can strolling around the Village. We'll also count anyone you find in Trader Joe's, any of the restaurants or any public house. Damn, that should make it easy...

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...
