Fisticuff Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

McKennan Mocegymba @ Hermosa working a bit of a left.  Some good waves, fat sets and a persistent offshore this morning...

Fifteen miles visibility under mostly clear skies with only a few clouds to mar the perfection.  Winds were offshore by 4.1kts and steady throughout the morning.  The sea surface was smooth to a manicured brush.  The air temp was 55.2˚ and the water was 58.1˚, trying hard to warm a bit.  High tide is at 6:40am +4.5' and low tide will follow at 1:36pm +0.2'.  We have a WSW swell out of 248˚ at 4.6' and it was a fine day at most spots...  It will be crowded mañana, count on it...

Hora Feliz at 5:30pm at Samba.  

Apparently celebrity worship starts early...  So here we have Miss Lilly appreciating a rather two-dimensional Justin Bieber.  Our quick calculations suggest that by the time she's 18 he'll be 35.  She'll probably think that 35 is ancient...  We had two thoughts:  1. We wish we were 35.  2. in 16 years we'll be 78...  sigh...

It's Another Frijolé Friday Surf & Culture Report

Image
Lost Boys & Co... W hen you"re on the road essential services are sometimes at a premium.  Take the case of Cat Simmons who had scheduled a skin cancer surgery only to have a surf trip come up and whisk him away.  But no worries!  Here at our "Mobile Auxiliary Surf Hospital" (M.A.S.H.) our anesthesiologist Dr. Souther and head surgeon Prof. Dr. Paine went right to work! (#1)  An outpatient procedure, he was back in the water for the afternoon session.  A biopsy revealed that instead of being cancerous the lesion was a bit of frijolé from breakfast.  Better safe than sorry, we say. 10 miles visibility under mostly clear skies this morning.  Winds were off by 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was brushed smooth.  The air was 45.0º and felt like 32, while the sea temp was 57.7º and felt just like that.  High tide was at 10:51am +4.9' and low tide follows at 5:47pm +-0.0'.  It's a west swell out of 262º at 2.6' and it was an amazing 3' to 5...

Amazing Alpine Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Image
Lost Boys & Co... Took the train out of Montreux straight up into the alps.  Some amazing vistas on the way.  Plenty of water, but we saw tons of hang gliders who floated around for hours on end.  Got to take some huevos to jump off of a perfectly good alp.  We also noted some rafters on a couple of the more navigable rivers, but there were also some class 4+ rapids along the road. Low tide is at 9:33am +0.7' and high tide follows at 4:59pm (not 5) +4.1'.  Swell is out of the SSW at 2.6' and the water is 62.1.  Does that sound right?  It's all snow melt up here and in the high 30's, low 40's.  Brrr!  But it's beautiful… So, after hours of waiting for the clouds to part, we finally got a good shot of the Jungfrau (#1) and the surrounding peaks.  It's the Jungfrau, Eiger and Schwartzmonk.  Ski lifts all over town, but only the highest peaks are covered.  Actually there are a couple of glaciers up there and we'll ID them for t...
