Ferocious Friday (The Thirteenth) Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Whatever you think about Friday the Thirteenth, Charlie Lentz thought it was an unlucky day.  He was probably one of the three standout surfers in the water this morning behind Rylan Gracie who go a double tube and came out and Hunter Sleeis who got shacked for a good fifty feet.  Charlie was ripping it up and when the whistle blew to get out he went for one more, paddled late, went over the falls and landed on his board.  Two for the price of one.  Even worse, he's got a Boardriders Contest tomorrow and that was his only whip.  We're pretty sure someone will give him a loaner...

Some of the biggest waves we've had this year, probably 5' to 7' with some bigger outsides.  Offshore winds at 1 to 3kts helped keep them up and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 47.0º and the water is 57.6º.  It broke through high tide at 6:48am +6.9' and will probably get lined up at 2:09pm for a -1.3' low tide.  It's a west swell out of 261º at 4.9' and it didn't have as many corners as one would like, but there were some grinders!

Don't forget the Greg Browning benefit this Sunday at 12 to 6pm at the VEFA Gallery, 21825 Hawthorne Blvd. Torrance, 90503.  Special musical guests, surfboard auction and a participatory art event!

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...
