Top Flight Tuesday Surf & Culture Report°



Lost Boys & Co...

We mentioned Zack Siegel yesterday and here he is with Doc Scale, waving a burrito about.

Foggy this morning with a mile visibility.  Winds on-shore 2 to 5kts and the sea surface is textured.  The air temperature was 67.1°and the water is 70.5°.  High tide is at 10:27am +4.2' and low tide will be at 3:18pm +2.2'.  We have a SSW swell out of 205° at 2.6', but don't let that fool you... It's not breaking and it's not breaking anywhere else of note either...

Lost Boys & Co... I t's one of those mornings when the photo (#1) looks better than the actual surf.  Really, it's gray and about 7 miles visibility under that low overcast.  Winds are light offshore 1 to 3kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 58.0 º  and the water is 61.9 º  at the buoy, but they're calling it 66 º  on the lifeguard chalkboard.  High tide was at 8:24am +4.0' and low tide follows at 1:42pm +1.1'.  It's a SW swell out of 222 º  at 3.0'.  It's a solid 3'+ but it's smacking the sand with a real snap.  A few more degrees and this would be a good boogie/whomping morning...  T his Saturday is the closing party for the latest VEFA show "Monumental" which showcases the sculptural works of Andy Scott.  6 to 8pm at the gallery on 16th.  On display are sketches, maquettes and a large scale steel equine artwork (#2)... ✠ ...

A Biktarvy / Rinvoq Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... A ctually quite a lovely spring morning with excellent visibility under clear skies (#1).  Winds were naggingly persistent out of the west at 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was lumpy/bumpy.  The air was 58.0 º  and the water at the buoy dropped to 59.4 º .  All that wind has not been helpful.  High tide was at 9:46am +3.5' and low tide follows at 2:11pm +2.1'.  A full moon on Sunday.  We have a 2.6' SSW swell out of 201 º  and it was 2' to 3' and pretty ragged... S ide effects are "side effects" until they are effects.  Which they would be if they happen to you.  Some of our faves this week were:  Sensitivity to light, general and specific infections, fistulous withers, stomach tears, pain, chills, choleric symptoms, bony protrusions on the skull (horns?) and nostril whistling... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!! ...
