Tomcat Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Considering our weather over the last few months, this isn't so fantastic, but then again the water temp is 83˚ on the Zicatela and that's ten degrees warmer than here.  Capitan Donny, is across the street in his hammock waiting patiently for happy hour...

A bit of gray this morning with 10 miles visibility and overcast skies.  Winds were offshore by 2.1kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 65.3˚ and the water was 71.4˚.  Low tide was at 7:53am +3.1' and high tide will be at 1:37pm +4.7'.  We have a WSW swell out of 251˚ at 3.6' and it's a wally-crashy 2' to 4' and not great shape...  Mañana?

"One cannot easily shake off old habits," was all that retired Detective Tim O'Hara could say when, after rifling through the dead old man's pockets (which, as he expected, were all empty), inspecting his throat, and forcing open his cold, stiff hand to get his fingerprints, he was gently but firmly pulled away from the coffin by his brother Harry and piloted out of the parlor under the perplexed stares of uncle Mel's friends and relatives. — Jorge Stolfi, Campinas, SP, Brazil

You unroll one of these mozzarella balls and you have 20+ feet of caprisi looking for basil leaves.  If you unroll it too fast it recoils and knocks you on your ass like a 90 mile-an-hour softball thrown by a girl in her teens...

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!!

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...
