Warding Off Another Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

The boys have played dominoes several times a week since Reagan was president.  Recently a new face broke into the rotation, none other than Ivan "Double-Sixes" Fernandez.  Apparently he's won a couple in a row and felt like he had to provide brekky for the crew.  They all agreed he's number one!  Shown here we have T.C., Jack, Double-Sixes, Cliff and Boomer.

A brilliant morning with 20+ miles visibility and partly cloudy, mostly sunny skies.  Winds were offshore at 3.7kts like one would expect and the sea surface was smooth to glassy.  The air temperature was 75.3˚ and the water was 70.9˚ at the buoy and 75˚ on the board at the Hermosa Pier.  High tide was at 8:12am +4.1' and low tide will be at 1:11pm +2.1'.  We have a SW swell out of 217˚ at 2.6' and it was 2' to almost 3' with the crystal clearest waves we've seen in ages...  All in all, a fabulous morning to be in the water...

Coffee, coffee, coffee...  Jetski was surprised to find how much this looked like real life...  Must've been the coffee...

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...
