Last Man Standing Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Here we have "El Santo" posing for a moment before going into the ring against Ozzy and the Zombie Chef tag-team.  Unfortunately, Rasta Pete got a bit too close and took one on the nose...

15 Miles visibility this morning under a hazy fall sun.  Winds were calm and the sea was glassy.  The air was 63.7˚ and the water was 64.6˚.  High tide was at 11:03am +6.0' and low tide will follow at 6:33pm -0.3'.  We have a weak WSW swell out of 251˚ at 1.6'.  The surf is in the 0 to 1' range and we suggest you busy yourself with all the things you do when there aren't any waves...
