Hell Hath No Fury Like A Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

When the waves are small you have to make yourself r-e-a-l-l-y tiny to fit in just right and get the max amount of trim.  (#1) Here we have the ever popular Burnsy getting small and making the most of this inside grinder.  She persisted, making it all the way to the sand and stepping off to victory.

Meanwhile winds were out of the south this morning, before they turned offshore for about an hour.  They bumped the surface and didn't help the shape any.  They dropped the water temp from 59.2º to 57.9º and it didn't help that the air was a balmy 45.5º.  Low tide was at 8:57am +3.2' and high tide will follow at 2:03pm +4.3'.  It's a SW swell out of 230º at 3.3' and it was 3' to 4' and required a bit of patience to make it work...

The VEFA Art Gallery will be open Saturday the 23rd for an artist talk and meet and greet!  The artist is Jud Hogan and his photography features low angle, freeze motion techniques of oceanscapes.  It's on from 6pm to 8pm and there will be light refreshments!  If you haven't seen the gallery or the surf exhibition make your way over to catch the show.  The Gallery is between Carson St. and Sepulveda next to the Chic-fil-a.

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...
