Salamugundi Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Taking the big drop (about 45 floors), we watched these window washers (#1) high above 53rd St. in New York, plying their trade and trying hard not to look down...  Just like taking off on a 400' wave, that's all...

Glassy, small conditions this morning with winds light out of the east.  High tide was at 8:05am 3.9' and it stayed high all day.  The water was a delightful 72.5º.  A SSW swell at 3.0' and the waves were 2' to 3' and a bit crashy, but if you could get in early, you had a chance.  It was just too pretty to stay out of the water...

This guy (#2) kept watching us the entire time we were eating lunch at the Salamugundi Club.  We were scouting artists for Joe Anderson's new gallery and had lunches with a couple of prospects...  Next time could we sit somewhere without a gargoyle?

Some of the NY Crew (#3) L. to R. Sancho, Suzi, LoLa, Joey and Tarsan.  Shown here hiking along the High-Line Park. Most of the folks were going to the Armory Show at the Javits Center and Sancho and Tarsan were headed for a pop-up vintage clothing show in Alphabet City.  Sancho's first time in Nueva York and he said he'd be back...  Had a couple of great meals with these guys

(#4) "Mom I'm going surfing!  Call me when dinner's ready..."

Off on Wednesday to join brother Miloe on the west side of Oahu.  Doing some recon and a side trip to Molokai to check on Father Damian's work...   Might not be any patients left...  Reading "Magic Mountain" to get in the mood...

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...
