A Worry Wart Wednesday/Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

The Annual Kickoff Classic for the South Bay High School Surf League, hit the water this morning (#1) and there were some outstanding performances from all of the high schools!  Here's the list of our Redondo Seahawks who advanced: 

Heat 1: 1st Shane Murphy     Heat 2:  2nd Billy Galin        Heat 3:  2nd Dane Acosta

Heat 4: 1st Volney Howard    Heat 5:  2nd Jake Stimpfig   Heat 6:  1st Tyler Anderson

Gray and chilly this morning with 5 miles visibility and cloudy skies.  Winds were light out of the south/southwest and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 58.9º and the water was 61.3º.  High tide was at 9:02am +6.6' and low tide follows at 3:48pm +0.7'.  Again the report vastly underestimated the size and the WSW swell out of 251º was reported at 3.3' and it was almost twice that big on the outsides!  Some great contest waves!

If you've ever traveled with LoLa you know she's climbed every peak, mountain and church steeple she's encountered!  By the numbers #2: Palermo Duomo, #3: Monreale, #4: Erice, #5: Milan Duomo (note: the highest point on the spire was already taken up by the Virgin Mary, so she had to be happy with walking around on the roof!)

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!!

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...
