Wilder Than Burnsy Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

#1)  This is what happens when you say, "I'll take a chance on the left one."  Actually, a cataract removal, back in the water in two weeks according to the doc...

Our judges on the pier this morning (#2) were Don Congrejo, Doc? and the Professor.  Our contestant?  Burnsy was the only Sruf Familia member to brave the brine this morning.

Conditions were great for longboarding with a hazy ball of sun in the sky and almost 10 miles visibility.  Winds were calm and the sea surface was smooth.  The water was especially clear with a bit of emerald shining through.  The air temperature was 58.8º and the water is 63.0º.  High tide was at 6:49am +4.0' and low tide will be at 12:46pm +0.6'.  We have a SSW swell out of 195º at 2.6' and it was a fun 2' to 3'...

#3)  A nice knee-high roller!  She exhibited good form and appropriate trim.  Her score:  4, 5, 5 for a 14.

#4)  A bit of a stall for the cover-up.  A head-dip and then a pull-out.  Impressed the judges with her poise in this little section.  Score:  6, 8, 7 = 21.  Might've been a bit better score if she had made it out of the tube...

#5)  She took this one all the way to the beach, not always easy in Hermosa.  Excellent control.  She got a 7, 7, 7 = 21 for a cumulative 56 on her best three waves.  She got some really good ones and now if she dances up there and gets some toes-on-the-nose she'll get a bunch of tens!

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...
