Is That Rain? Thursday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

The use of telecommunications is invaluable when stalking a suspect (#1).  Also disguise can be crucial, here we have the Professor shadowing Jetski disguised as a bandy-legged old man...

Rainy skies this morning with unusually clear visibility.  Even though it's cloudy and overcast, Catalina is clear as a bell.  We'll call it 20 miles visibility with a low ceiling.  Winds are brisk out of the SSW by 5 to 10kts and the sea surface has a definite short chop.  The air temp is 58.3 and the water is 67.3.  High tide is at 8:25am +6.0' and low tide follows at 2:58pm +0.1'.  We have a WSW swell out of 245º at 2.3' and the surf is a poor 1' to almost 2'...  There's a swell out of the NW on it's way and with any luck, we might get a taste of that tomorrow...

El Santo (#2) bonking the photographer on the head with his patented "surf and turf" move.  He clobbers you with his surfboard and you fall to the turf...

Drone photo (#3) by Sensei Joey showing Jetski and Tarzan on a little green roller.  The water was clear and gorgeous on this morning before the clouds rolled in...

Friday night we're trying a new Happy Hour location!  For the interested and curious, we'll be dining at the "Hook & Plow."  You can find it at 425 Pier Ave. Hermosa Beach, 90254.  Happy hour ends at 6pm so get there early (5:30pm) so we can take advantage of the lower prices!

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...
