Lost Boys & Co... S ometimes you're praying for surf and suddenly you find yourself in San Onofre and it's a solid 4' with bigger outsides.  People are on 10'+ logs flying around like nobody's business and you're just trying to find a spot where you can get some waves and try this whole new place out.  I can can be a challenge, daunting and often discouraging, but if you keep trying, sooner or later it all comes together...  And if not here, some other place that's just right for you...  We've all been there...  (photo:  LoLa for The Existential Church Of Chumash Bingo ) P artly cloudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light onshore to 3.2kts and the sea surface started out smooth, but got progressively bumpy as the morning waned.  The air temp was in the 70's and the water was 72.1˚.  High tide was at 9:51am +4.3' and low tide followed at 2:53pm +1.7'.  We enjoyed a SSW swell out of 209˚ at 3.3'  but there were...

Lost Boys & Co... A friend of Robin Fenlon, Keala Kennelly managed to get towed into this yawning monster at Teahupoo.  Absolutely incredible, it kinda hits you in the pit of your stomach every time you look at it...  So we can imagine getting towed in, but how do you get out?  That looks like a problem of major proportions...  like getting washed over the reef, surviving the surge and not getting hit by a boat full of photogs... M ostly sunny this morning with 20 miles visibility.  Winds were calm and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 68.8˚ and the water was 72.0˚.  High tide was at 8:40am +3.8' and low tide will follow at 1:21pm +2.2'.  We have a SW swell out of 220˚ at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' with some nice ones if your timing was on...

Lost Boys & Co... T he 7th Anniversary party for Brother's Burritos wasn't as good as you might imagine.  No... it was BETTER!   Extravagant giveaways, great food and enough tequila to float this Barahona Surfboard that was the centerpiece of the live auction that raised $900 for the employees!  Clarky was the MC, rafflemaster and auctioneer.  The cops showed up twice and both times Mike Leko, being the tallest white guy present, was sent out to mollify their strident attitudes...  (successfully, by the way...)  L. to R.:  Ivan, Rogelio, Yoshi, Oscar, José, Madison and Quil.  Not pictured:  Scott, Elder, Ryan and Brandon.  (Photo credit:  Jetsky Vishnevsky for International Brotherhood of Foam Mowers ) O vercast this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds light out of the SW by 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 69.3˚ and the water was an honest 71.2˚.  Low tide was at 9:17am +2.1' and high...

Lost Boys & Co... R asta Pete is the apex Hermosa local.  He said he'd never seen so many people on the pier.  We concur.  So we walked out on the pier to see just who was out there...  We walked all the way out to the Mark Levy plaque and didn't recognize anyone.  So we turned around and about halfway back we ran into CoConut and we all embraced, afraid to let go less we lose each other.  Then we saw Bobby Warchola and Bob Thomas and decided we could make a run for it...  Those crossfit folks are scary... G ray, but warm and 6 miles visibility.  Winds were on shore by 3.2kts and there was a light bump on the surface.  The air temp was 69.5˚ and the water was 71.1˚.  Billy Lefebre, says it's too warm and there's gonna be a hurricane...  Low tide was at 8:25am +1.7' and high tide will follow at 3:41pm +4.5'.  We have a SW swell out of 226˚ at 2.3' and it's 1' to 2' and small, but as fun as you need it to be...8 T he pier use...

Lost Boys & Co... A t his palatial dacha on the Black Sea, we dined with Boris "Jetski" Vishnevsky.  A scrumptious meal of several courses the show stopper was pork chiliquilles with over easy eggs, on a bed of cheese and pork and tortilla chips roasted in pork oil...  LoLa and Taylor directed the preparation... O vercast this morning and you could see Catalina, but not the sun...  Winds were onshore by 3.0kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 70.0˚ and the water is 70.5˚.  Low tide was at 7:11am +0.9' and high tide was at 2:01pm +4.3'.  We have a SSW swell out of 203˚ at 3.0' and it's 1' to 2'.  Maybe later this week... A wonderful day at the water park for our intrepid couple waving to the paparazzi.  Not such a great day for the kid on the left floating face down in ankle deep water...  For some undisclosed length of time...  Come on, 4 or 5 minutes doesn't cause that much brain damage...  He wasn't tha...

Lost Boys & Co... I t's Saturday at 4:30.  Pig Roast minus 30 minutes.  Time to turn the piggy over and crisp up all the skin.  It's raining, no, it's pouring like a cow pissing on a flat rock.  LoLa says to the Professor, "Are we still gonna do this?"  The Professor says, "These people are all surfers.  They own wetsuits.  TURN OVER THE PIGGY!"  ( photo credit:  Barbara Miloe for the Honolulu Advertiser ) C loudy this morning with 7 miles visibility and uncharacteristic humidity for So.

Lost Boys & Co... They kicked everyone out of the water this morning in Hermosa and shut down the pier because of the threat of lightning... so we'll move on...

Lost Boys & Co... L ethal Keithal, the Professor and Devin Bogart share a moment a couple of afternoons ago.  We've been trying to get Lethal back into the water, but you can lead him to water, but you can't make him surf.  Old Tony's is as close as we could get... A great day today as Clark the Meth Hunter put everything together and got something like 5 solid rides.  Jetski, returned to the surf and was making those steep drops, this time without stopping his stick with his head!  El Ché scored some long lefts but was challenged by Clarky who ended up his session with a ride that left him in the shadow of the pier.  It was lightly overcast with the sun trying to break through.  Visibility was 15 miles.  Winds were light out of the WSW and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 64.5˚ and the water is around 68.7˚.  All this sunshine can only help...  High tide is at 11:00am +4.3' and low tide will follow at 3:59pm +1.9'....

Lost Boys & Co... T his is how things spin out of control...  It all started out with Jetski getting a fin to the left eyebrow.  This is going to make a great scar.  Four lifeguards pouring over his wounded melon, ice packs, yards of self sticking bandages, forms and waivers etc.  In no time we're at the plastic surgeon's .  Yes, no ordinary sutures for this boy.  But it's a plastic surgeon...  "Whaddya think Professor?  A "B" or a "C"?"  How about a C+?  ( Professor Doctor Titsling:  Modern Body Sculpting ) B eautiful morning with 20+ miles visibility and almost no clouds in sight.  Winds were light offshore at 3.2kts and the sea surface was glassy.  The air temperature was 66.5˚ and the water was a cool 66.0˚.  High tide was at 9:05am +4.0' and low tide will be at 1:55pm +1.9'.  We have a SSW swell out of 207˚ and it was 3.6' at the buoy and 3' to 4' and peakie at most spots.  One of the best mornings...

W hat the hell is going on here?  The official count on this surfboard was 66, for the Guinness world record.  It's trouble enough when you go out and it's crowded, but if you bring your crowd with you, you have no one to blame but yourselves.  Who's idea was this anyway?  And who made this board?  Too many questions...  We just hope it goes away... C loudy this morning and looked like rain for the first part of the day.  Visibility was barely 5 miles.  Winds were offshore though, by 5.4kts and the sea surface was glassy.  The secret this morning was to hit it early.  The air temperature was 65.0˚ and the water was 67.8˚.  Low tide was at 9:03am +0.8' and high tide will be at 3:57pm +5.2'.  We had a SW swell out of 217˚ at ...

C loudy this morning with some odd raindrops falling on the parade.  7 miles visibility.  If you needed to see something 8 miles away you were out of luck.  Winds were on by 5.9kts early and then laid back mid-morning leaving a bit of slack and less chop.  The air temp was 65.5˚ and the water was 66.7˚ and coupled with the wind, left most folks in long rubber.  Low tide was at 10:03am +1.2' and high tide was late at 4:55pm +5.5'.  We had a SSW swell out of 206˚ at 3.6' and it was a critical 3' to 4' and dumped as the tide dropped.  Check it out mañana.  If the wind takes a break it could be good...

O ne of the things we don't often see in California waters are sea turtles.  Over the years we've noticed that the numbers that you see in Mexico and Hawaii have increased!  Looks like the measures they've taken to stop the random killing of these magnificent animals is helping! O vercast, with 5 miles visibility.  Winds are out of the SW by 2.2kts and the sea surface is lightly rippled.  The air temp is 68.0˚ and the water is 64.2, driven down a bit by the winds yesterday.  Low tide was at 5:51am -1.0' and high tide will follow at 12:22pm +4.4'.  We have a SW swell out of 222˚ at 3.6' and it's a bit smaller than that, but should be getting better over the next few days.

Lost Boys & Co... W hat's June without a wedding or a graduation?  On the wedding side we had Anthony Maggio and Dasha Barranik tie the knot to create the Barraggio's.  This is noteworthy in that Luke had his mother convinced that this is what they were really going to call themselves.  A fabulous event, it brought rural Healdsburg to a standstill and emptied most of the tasting rooms from Napa to Mendocino... C loudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were out of the SSW by 3.1kts and there was a bit of a bump on the water from the start.  The air temperature was 71.2˚ and the water was 66.9˚ with some isolated warm spots.  High tide was at 10:17am +4.0' and low tide will be at 3:03pm +1.9' heading for some minus tides in the early morning as the week progresses.  We have a SSW swell out of 193˚ at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3' with some occasional sets.  It's a full moon tonight, so wear gloves to hide those hairy hands...
