You've Done Something Unpleasant To Your Hair Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Take a look at the attachment for the announcement of the benefit for Greg Browning.  Greg was one of the best surfers to come out of the South Bay (Think Alex Gray level.)  He's been stricken with MS and all the proceeds from the event will go to him and his family.  If you haven't seen the VEFA Gallery yet, this would also be a good time to catch the "Art of Surf" Exhibit.

Cloudy skies this morning, burning off to a marvelous day.  Winds were light offshore 1 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was 54.0º and the water is right around 59.0º.  Low tide will be at 10:34am +1.9' and high tide will be at 4:01pm +3.8'.  Be some really low tides in the afternoon later this week.  It's a WSW swell out of 255º at 3.0'.  It was 3' to some almost 5' crunchers.

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...
