Retrofit Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

It's amazing in this third week of the pandemic, what people are coming up with to amuse themselves (and collaterally us.)  Photo #1 is an excellent use of photo-shopping and whoever did this has a future in advertising...  If they would only use their talents for good instead of evil...

10 miles visibility on this beautiful spring morning.  Winds are offshore by 3.2kts and the sea surface has a bit of ripple to it.  The air temp is 52.2 and the water is 58.8.  High tide was at 5:57am +4.9' and low tide follows at 1:13pm -0.5'.  We have a SSW swell out of 197º at 3.3'.  Hermosa is reporting 2' to 3', but the cam doesn't look that inviting, thank goodness...

The sales of bidets have rocketed off the charts (#2) and if you don't turn the pressure down, you'll be doing a bit of rocketing yourself...  Another opportunity to get in touch with your inner self...

"In our day..."  You'll be telling your grand-kids about things like this (#3).

Jetski (#4) has never been shy about social distancing...

This village in England (#5) has been overrun by goats that have wandered in from the countryside because of the lack of traffic.  We've heard that in the Hollywood Riviera, sighting of coyotes, foxes and other usually shy beasts, has increased for the same reason...

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...
