The Revolution May or May Not Be Televised Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Okay scouts, here we are at the Anahulu Bridge (#1), more commonly known as the Haleiwa Bridge waiting for a chance to dive off in the moonlight.  From L. to R.  Queen Lélani Burke, Anaconda and LoLa herself.

In the South Bay we have overcast skies and 9 miles visibility (#2).  Winds are slightly onshore at 1 to 2kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 66.3º and the water has dipped again to 68.0º which makes it feel like 60.  High tide at 10:24am +4.2' and low tide follows at 3:02 for an uninspiring +2.1' drain.  We have a SSW swell out of 193º at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3' with some well-shaped rising tide lines.  Bacallao was riding his blue single fin and surfing like he invented the sport...  hats off!

Two things are always special about Hawaii:  the rainbows and the sunsets.  In #3 we have a nice rainbow shot with the pot-of-gold on Val's Reef and Kaena Point floating exactly where you might find Palos Verdes at home.  #4 has the Professor and Anaconda bidding adieu to the islands and saluting the rising moon. 

Things are getting a tad hectic due to to some pending nuptials.  That being the case, the report may be a bit sporadic for the next couple of weeks.  The surf has been consistent, so hit it and we'll see you on and off for a couple of weeks!

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...
