Heavy Lidded Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

No, it wasn't merely surfing and eating and sleeping in perfect hammocks.  Of course not! There was a lot of hard drinking and carousing.  Here (#1) we see the Professor behind the bar at "Rigoberto's Garden of Eden."  They were here for breakfast, but at breakfast they serve everyone one-at-a-time.  Breakfast is a marathon here and not a sprint.  This morning took TWO HOURS until everyone was served.  We ate in rounds.  So by the time Doc and the Professor got served it was noon.  Doc had developed quite a thirst and the Professor found the keys to the bar.  If you've never had a piña colada with your huevos rancheros, you don't know what you're missing...

Lots of visibility this morning with clouds out there on the horizontal.  Winds are onshore, blustery at 7 to 15kts.  The sea surface is appropriately choppy.  The air was 55.0º and the water is 59.7º.  High tide was at 6:29am +6.0' and low tide follows at 1:38pm -1.3' for some excellent beach combing.  It's a WSW swell out of 255º at 4.6'.  The waves are 4 to 5' and pretty sloppy.

50/50 chance of a report tomorrow, depending on the Professor's condition post-op.  He's getting his eyelids re-sectioned, his ears pinned back and his lips enhanced.  If all goes well he should look like Tammy Faye Baker on surfari!

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...
