Water Hammer Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

A beautiful morning as the faithful, or fitful as it might be, gathered to check out the surf.  Here (#1) we have a Jetski view of LoLa, Jimmy Utah and the Professor.  Unfortunately, there wasn't much to see.  Unless you count this little peeler (#2) that slipped through despite the lack of swell and the full tide...)

10 miles visibility and offshore winds at 4.7kts bringing the 40º temp down to the 30's.  The water is 59.5.  High tide was at 6:29am +6.0' and low tide will drain out a -0.4' at 1:39pm.  So, except for that little wave we managed to collect it was 1.6' out of the SSW 213º, and we're going to call it flat...

Meanwhile, outside of Denver there's this period restaurant called "The Buckhorn Exchange."  They have just about every manner of stuffed bird, amphibian, reptile and quadruped of which you can think.  In photo #3 we have Boomfwappa ensconced in the "Water Buffalo" room.  By the time you leave and after being plied with all manner of drink, meat and dessert, you too are stuffed...

Then there's the Red Rock Amphitheater (#4).  We personally refused to be seated until they removed the snow from the seats.  They told us that would be about May, but they wouldn't make any hard promises...  If Emmylou plays there ever again, we shall make our way...

Happy hour this week will be at Patrick Malloy's.  They have promised to bring in the heaters, but grass skirts, coconut brassieres and Hawaiian shirts are discouraged...  Not forbidden, mind you, just discouraged...  5:30 and you get to sit by your favorite Surf Familia member...

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...
