Golden Throat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Rasta 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...

Gray, 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

The pier used to be nice and level...  They just kind of smashed it into the sand... Muscle is very dense and heavy...

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...
