Wildebeest Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Yeah it was cold this morning here in the So.Bay (44.8º) but not as cold as Boise (#1) around the time it started to snow...  The water is hanging on around 58.1º and it's chilly but not impossible.  10 miles visibility this morning under hazy skies.  Winds were offshore by 2 to 3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  High tide was at 10:25am +6.3' and low tide was at 5:42pm -1.1' for the last of the minus tides this week.  We have a fat west swell out of 260º at 4.3' and it was 4' to 5' with some crunchy outsides.  Some good ones though as the tide came up and it started to peak a bit.  (#2)  Getting out could be a challenge, but Capt. Don Congrejo showed us the way with only a bump or two in the rip south of the break.  The office was making it hard to not get swept through the pier

Got a Pickle® wax remover for Christmas and we tried it out (#3) with splendid results!  It was chilly so we  used a hair drier to soften things up, but it really left a smooth, glossy surface.  We have no idea what's inside and we're not going to ask...

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...
