Make It Or Break It Monday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

The Dutch girls, Marijn and Milou, (who have become Charlie and Meek) have been having a great time surfing.  After two weeks they are paddling and standing up on their own!  Thanks to Yoshi and Morgan who've loaned us a couple of soft boards to get them hooked on the free ride...  (#1 is Charlie leading with her hands and doing the surf hula at Sapphire...

Foggy, haze and 3 miles visibility.  Winds were light to moderate onshore with a slight ripple on the surface.  The air temperature was 66 and the water is 71.2.  Low tide was early at 5:42am +0.0' and high tide was at 12:10pm +4.2'.  We have a SSW swell out of 192º at 2.0' and it was a thumping 1' to 2' at most spots...

(#2)  So who leaves babies on the pier?  Gotta look carefully...  Where do babies hide?  They're everywhere...

Jetski with the second biggest bottle of Corona he's ever had (#3).  Great times at the Brother's 10th Anniversary party.  Ronnie and Laurie are always the most gracious hosts and everyone had a fabulous time.  The hit of the evening?  No, not the Corona, but Ronnie's Dad's shrimp cocktail!  Plump shrimp, tangy sauce and crisp veggies - off the Richter!

Meek (#4) with a nail-biter on the inside section...  Crystal clear water made it look shallower than it really was...

No scheduled happy hour this week (so have an UN-scheduled one!) as the crew takes off for Kings Canyon.  So far, no fires in the immediate area...

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...
