There Will Be Consequences Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Okay, today we're going to play our own version of "Spin-the Globe."  Let's see how close you get to naming the location of these spots!  We'll give you a hint that #1 is on an island and has one of the highest talc cliffs in the world.  Recently vandalized they just scraped the paint off and they look pretty much the same...

#2)  One of a number of spots in the world where getting to the surf involves waiting for the herd to clear off the road.

Overcast this morning with 7 miles visibility.  Winds are light and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp is 62.2º and the water is a delightful 63.7º.  High tide was at 7:48am +3.9' and low tide follows at 1:22pm +1.0'.  There's a SSW swell out of 209º at 2.6' and it's 2' to 3' with some high-tide floaters.  Get your longboard...

#3)  This spot has a couple of thousand shipwrecks in the waters off these shores.  Ravaged by floods this last rainy season, you can see the water is still running brown even weeks after...

#4)  A fresh water break from the surf, these sinkholes are only found in a few places on the planet.  No it's not Florida or Manhattan...

And the answers are:

        #1 La Scala de Turchi, Sicily.
        #2 Saladitas, Guerrero, Mexico
        #3 Umhlanga Rocks, Durban, South Africa
        #4 Cenote Eden, Quintana Roo, Mexico

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...
