Vernal Equinox Monday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

So today is the Vernal Equinox and you'd think that the night and day are equal lengths.  Nay, nay!  Because the earth is relatively spherical depending on your latitude equal day and night happens at different times and dates based on your location.  Redondo Beach is around 33º North, so our equal day and night happened on March 16th for the Vernal Equinox and September 26th or the 27th for the Autumnal Equinox.

35° North    Mar 16 - Sep 26
30° North    Mar 16 - Sep 27

Cloudy this morning and about 5 miles visibility.  Winds were on early, variable to 5.2kts and the sea surface was bumped by the wind.  The air temperature was 57.5 and the water is 60.4.  Low tide was at 11:21am +1.0' and high tide is late at 7:01pm +3.0'.  We have a slowly building swell that's supposed to peak around 5' - 6' sometime on Thursday.  Currently we have a SSW swell out of 199º at 2.6' and it was 1' to 2'.  Rain predicted for late Tuesday and then most of the day Wednesday.  As usual conditions will depend a lot on the winds...

Here we have a shot of the Professor's personal assistant Ms. Sorensen modifying some golf clubs.  Turns out that Ché had some clubs that were a tad too long for him.  She said she could handle it...  Yikes!

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...
