Fuel Oil Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys &Co...

"14th floor. North Myrtle beach. 88 degrees air temp, wind onshore at 30 knots. Waves about 1 to 2. Don't know about water temp yet."  (Danger Boy reporting from his lair high above the mid-Atlantic...  Ed.)

Meanwhile, on a completely different coast, we have overcast skies and a little shy of 10 miles visibility.  Winds are softly onshore by 1.2kts and the sea surface is smooth to lightly rippled.  Winds will increase to 10-12kts with light to moderate chop.  The air temp was 61.8° and the water is 64.4° at the buoy with a 70° posted on the Hermosa Main Tower.  It was rather pleasant yesterday.  High tide at 5:34am +3.1' and low tide to follow at 9:55am +2.2'.  A late afternoon high is full at 4:58pm showing 5.8'.  We have a SSW swell out of 210°, continuing to swing west at 2.3' and we'll call it 1' to 2' and some nice little munchers to lubricate your kneecaps...

Industry News:
Rumor has it that McTaggart/Paine Productions®, has continued work on it's latest film production.  Details are sketchy, but it is believed to take place in Hermosa and feature several local/international personalities at a local establishment and on the beach.  The producers have been seen scouting locations on the beach with videographer/camerman Chuck Haifly (opening the possibility of 3-D) and eating at Brother's Burritos, rumored local establishment location.  No, wait... it actually is an establishment and a location, not a rumor.  Initially planned to be premiered at the Hermosa Film Fest, production irregularities, cost overruns, weather issues and artistic differences conspired to push the date back...

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...
