Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... N o doubt you've got a story about surfing inside the Horseshoe Pier.  For awhile it was against the law, but we didn't see any signs and there were a couple of shortboarders having a glorious time (#2).  The pier really knocked down the wind that was plaguing the rest of the beach breaks and let some good ones through. I t was brilliant blue skies with a few clouds and 15 miles visibility. Those winds were 3 to 7kts at checkout and they've been ramping up all day.  The air temperature was 54.5 º and the water has dipped a bit with the wind to 60.3 º.  High tide was late at 11:10am +3.4' and low tide was at 3:27pm +2.2'.  It's a west swell out of 263 º at 5.2' and it was 4' to 6'.  If you were persistent like A-Aron, you might have scored a couple of peaks and if you knew where to sit!  He has claimed some level of enlightenment!  We bask in his reflected light...

Lost Boys & Co... H oping it was a happy Mother's Day for all you Moms out there.  Our daughter Julia was trying to find an appropriate photo to send to mom on her special day and she picked this one (#1) because she thought it showed characteristic restraint on LoLa's part.  She didn't run over me and now the brake lights work.  Still, it shows who's driving... A beautiful morning with partly cloudy skies and 14 miles visibility.  Winds were variable starting out calm and then ramping up to a white-cap blow.  The air was 57.0 º and the water is 62.2 º .  High tide was at 10:28am +3.9' and low tide will be at 3:05pm +2.0'.  It was a minus tide this morning at 4:08am and that held on for a lot of the morning.  We have a SSW swell out of 197 º at 4.3' and it was 3' to 5' and good if you were shortboarding it. A shoe-in anywhere he goes, Jetski posed for this portrait (#2) with one of his favorite models.  We would've chosen the Adidas I...

Lost Boys & Co... O ur first shot this morning (#1) really reflects how much visibility we had this morning.  We could call it "1 Pier Unit."  That is the visibility that goes as far as the end of the Hermosa Pier.  It was foggy and then got foggier and then the crazy seal chased most of the girls out of the water!  They didn't have far to paddle/run since the tide was high at 8:29am +3.8'.  It's low this afternoon at 1:58pm +1.2'.  Winds were light out of the west by 1 to 3kts and the sea surface had a bit of a rolling bump.  The air was a moist 57.0 º and the water is 61.5 º .  We have had a SSW swell from around 200 º all week and it was 3.3' breaking through the high tide.  You just couldn't see it very well... H ere (#2) we have Christiano Stutzcanhang, being lectured by his best friend, Harvey.  Harvey basically said, "I was watching you from the beach and I thought your wave selection left a little to be desired.  To be...

Lost Boys & Co... O kay, it's official, the new Pope is Cardinal Robert Prevost, who's taken the name Leo XIV (#1).  He's the first American Pope and the first Pope who is younger than many of us!   12 miles visibility under clear skies and onshore winds 3 to 5kts.  The sea surface was slightly textured.  The air temp at checkout was 57.5 º and the water is 61.0 º.  High tide was at 7:46am +3.9' and low tide will follow at 1:33pm +0.9'.  There's a SSW swell out of 198 º at 3.3' and it was exactly that this morning! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... H ow many times has this bumper (#1) been Bondoed?  Good visual though... O dds on the new Pope as the Conclave starts today: Pietro Parolin (30% chance) Luis Antonio Tagle (20%) Pierbattista Pizzaballa (11%) Matteo Zuppi (9%) Peter Erdo (6%) Jean-Marc Aveline (6%) Peter Turkson (5%) Fridolin Ambongo (3%) Anders Arborelius (2%) Mario Grech (2%) Not saying the odds on anyone are particularly strong, But we're going with Pizzaballa because what a great name for a Pope! D ay started out with partly cloudy skies and then the clouds closed in and the temps dropped.  The air was 58.0 º and the water is 62. 1º and let's hope the wind doesn't drop the temperature.  Currently it's 10 to 15kts and the sea surface is white capped.  High tide was at 6:55am +4.0' and low tide will be at 1"06pm +0.6'.  It's a SSW swell out of 204 º at 3.3' and it was a solid 4' close to the sand this morning.
