Terigenous Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

For all you train spotters out there, we thought we'd throw in this painting/graffito (#1) by Risk Rock who's currently displayed at the VEFA art gallery.  We showed this to Clarke and he said, "Yeah, I know that guy's stuff!"  He's seen it on the trains coming in and out of the port.  Lots more surf related art.  The show goes on until January 6th.  Gallery is opened Wednesday through Sunday from 12 to 8pm.

Another Beautiful morning here in Lala Land.  Hazy sun and a fog bank waiting far out on the horizon.  Winds were offshore and the sea surface3 was smooth.  The air was a chilly 48.7º and the water is 59.5º.  High tide was at 9:16am +6.1' and low tide will be at 5:01pm -0.6'.  We'd tell you to go beach combing, but the sunset is 4:44pm, making it a bit dark to pick out the best stuff.  It's a WSW swell out of 248º at 3.3' and it was again 3' to 4' with some stout outsides.  Again Christian threw himself into the carnage and got some great tubes, but didn't make it out of most of them...

Contest on Friday at Hermosa south side of the pier.  Redondo vs Peninsula and Santa Monica vs Chadwick.  Contest starts at 6:30am for some outstanding prep surfing!

Note:  This morning we were on the pier and the parking guy came rolling up and announced that they are going to start citing people with their dogs on the pier!  It's a $250 fine!  They can't be on the sand or on the pier.  Yes, there are signs, but until now they never enforced the ban.  We're not quite sure how the pier is any different than the strand for dogs, but the local constabulary thinks so.  Maybe we have to ask the city council?

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...
