Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Joey:  "You can play a lot better than that!"
Gidget:  "She's pretty good."
J:  "Sloppy bow-work!"
G:  "She's just hurrying it a bit..."
J:  "I think you should show her how it's done!"
G:  "Hmmm, maybe there is room for one more fiddle player in Northern Ireland..."

Hazy sun with 12 miles visibility this morning.  Winds were on-shore by 2.3kts and the sea surface was almost smooth.  The air temperature was 65.0Ëš and the water was (is) 71.2Ëš.  High tide was at 8:23am +3.6' and low tide will be at 1:01pm +2.0'.  We have a SSW swell out of 207Ëš at 3.0'.  It's 2' to 3' and a bit high, but could work later in the morning if the wind stays low...

Hangin' out at the Spaniard in Belfast, Northern Ireland...

It's Another Frijolé Friday Surf & Culture Report

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...

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...

On A Wing & A Bone Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... H ere, (#1) we have our own naturalist, biologist and published author Anupa Asokan with what appears to be the first ingredient of a huge pot of turtle soup.  NO!  THAT'S NOT TRUE!!  What she's holding is a bucket of newly hatched turtles on their way to be released as the moon comes up over the water.  The local community is doing their best to restore the turtle population and sustain some of the endangered species. 5 miles visibility today with a light overcast and some smoke from the Hughes Fire north of Castiac.  It's really affecting the sunset tonight.  Winds were offshore most of the day, 1 to 3kts and the sea surface has been smooth.  The air was 46.0º and the water is 58.3º.  Basically one low tide today at 11:21am +1.2'.  There's a west swell out of 260º at 2.6' and it was a solid 2' and breaking in block long cylinders. I f you read our bone story yesterday you might recall that we really didn't delve into ...
