Taciturn Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

One of the perks of hanging out with the Lost Boys is that birthday celebrations sometime go on for a week.  In this case Suzi met up with our surf familia and stopped surfing long enough to take this photo of the crew.  From L. to R.:  Kira Bones, The Bacalao, The Professor, Suzi, Sensei Joey, Tarzan and Jah Morgan.  Paul Roustan did the photo honors as well as #2 showing Suzi scooping a late takeoff and bending into this left...  Jah Morgan brought a bunch of yummy pastries and everyone had a little something extra to go with their coffee...

Cloudy this morning with 7 miles visibility.  Winds were from the WSW at 6.6kts and the sea surface was lightly chopped.  The air temperature was 72 and the sea was likewise.  High tide was at 9:48am +4.8' and low tide was at 3:20pm +1.4'.  We have a rising SSW swell out of 192º at 3.0' and the surf was 1' to 2' and poor.  Good chance it will be a bit better mañana, so check'um out Red Ryder... 

We do a lot of sunset pics, but this one from Tatooine reminded us of the sun setting over Palos Verdes.  Except it's Tatooine and there are two suns...  (Photo: Larry Skywalker)

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...
