Just A Little Pissed Off Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Our cable service has sucked over the last week!  In the last 5 days we have just been able to send out a report.  Called Time/Warner and hoping the tech they're sending over will have an answer...  Please...

So, it would have been a full-moon Monday if we had sent a report.  One of the advantages of getting up at O'Dark-Thirty is that you get to catch some of these captivating celestial events...

The sky is partly cloudy and we have about 10 miles visibility.  Wind was on-shore at checkout, blowing lightly at 1.8kts and leaving a bit of bump on the waters.  The air temp was 58.5˚ and the water at the buoy was 60.4˚.  We have to report that at the Hermosa Pier, Lottie the Lifeguard had just posted a 64˚ on the board.  64˚!  What global warming?  Low tide is at 6:25am +0.3' and high tide will follow at 12:30pm +3.6'.  We have a west swell out of 265˚ at 2.3' and it's 1' to 2' and not looking too deluxe.

Oh yeah, it's the Vernal Equinox...  Don't worry these things even out.  

Now it could have been a Happy St. Patrick's Day Monday as well.  Here we have the crew waiting for the Hermosa St. Paddy's Day parade to begin.  From L to R it's LoLa, Miss Lilly (who insisted on wearing pink), Rebecca, CoCo Noodle-Sorensen, Monroe, and Javan-the-Snowboarder.

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...
