Foggier Than Most Fridays Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Gee whiz Batman, when is this fog going to lift?  Kinda like we've been transported to San Francisco and are sitting on the wrong dock of the bay.  We actually had a great pic of the fog but it looked like the middle of the Pantone Gray Scale and wasn't going to be very exciting.  Instead, you know how people are always telling you to be present in the moment?  Okay, maybe they don't tell YOU, but they tell us all the time.  So here we have the Professor standing on the corner of "Here and Now."  If that's not present we don't know what is…

So we're clear (ha, ha) on the foggy situation.  No wind to speak of and the sea surface under these conditions is more than likely glassy.  The air is a moisture laden 63.5 and the water is 65.3.  High tide is at 7:15am +3.9' and low tide follows quickly at 10:50am +3.5'. It's an invisible SSW swell out of 203 degrees at 2.3' and it might be 1' to 2' if you could see anything…

If you got a request to donate to the Redondo Surf Team, we hope you'll consider it.  Unlike many groups that constantly have their hand out, this is once a year plea and it goes to support the surf team.  It blissfully is not tied to a political agenda, a paramilitary organization or anyone selling thin mints (actually we do support the thin mint uniformed maidens.)  So, thank you ahead of time and if you didn't get a request and want one, let us know and we'll send you the link.

Some Days Are Wednesdays Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... O ut here in the great wilderness we spent most of a week with Brother Miloe and Billie Bob Mason skidding down the various slopes of Brundage Mountain near McCall, Idaho.  Conditions varied, but for the most part it was spring skiing and the last couple of days were downright hot!  Temps were in the 50's and when you're skiing that tends to warm things up a bit.  We were down to bare knuckles and T-shirts under our nylon shells.  No crowds! (#1) A good time was had by all until Julia got stuck in some gooey snow and pulled a hip bone.  Nothing serious, but they wrapped her burrito style and the Ski Patrol slid her down the mountain where she began to come around fairly quickly...  This is what happens when you go slow! W e have no idea what's going on with the buoys!  The 46221 Buoy had the water temp this morning at 56.8° which is the coldest we've recorded this year!  Brrr!  High tide was at 7:23am +4.7' and low tide is at 2:24pm -0.4'.

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!!

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
