That's A Hat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Image
Lost Boys & Co... A ll that work we did for Corona and all we got was this hat (#1).  Variable shades, tall stack to let hot air rise, light and sturdy.  Not waterproof... T urtle spotted at 2nd St. this morning (#2) as a hot sun rose over the South Bay.  Winds out of the South by 2 to 4kts and the sea surface had a pronounced roll.  67.8 º in the air and 71.6 º  in the water.  High tide was at 7:54am +3.0' and low tide followed at 10:49am, barely, at +2.9'.  A SSW swell out of 197 º  at 4.6' and it was breaking hard enough to take 15 minutes to jump, swim and paddle out to the line-up.  A good workout, but not classic Hermosa... W hen they (#3) were P.I.'s they regularly started on the pier to assess the case load.  This was the 10th St. caper that had them teaming with "Cla...

Lost Boys & Co... " I f folks think I'm mean, they'll no'(t) expect to much." Sir Harry Lauder O ther than the air temperature, 68.5 º , it looked like your basic February morning (#1), with low clouds and 7 miles visibility.  Wind were blustery from the south at 4 to 7kts and the sea surface was chopped up.  Take a look at the photo and notice that the ceiling is right about 200' where it collides with PV.  The water is 72.1 º  and okay while you're in it.  High tide was early at 5:54am +2.8' and low tide was on it's heels at 9:36am +2.5', not appreciably different.  It's still that SSW swell out of 194 º  at 3.9' mixed with the remains of the blow from Mexico roughing things up. Too rough for turtles...  L ast Saturday, Ivan Fernandes was in town and we met for a get together dinner (#2).  A fixture at Brother's for years he was the consumm...

Lost Boys & Co... "T he shore was cold with mermaids and angels."  (But no turtles.) George Mackay Brown D oc has a special relationship with Harvey (#1).   H azy sun and 10 miles visibility.  Winds are light out of the south 1 to 3kts.  The sea surface is smooth.  The air temperature is 67.9 º  and the water is 72.3 º .  Great day for a dip.  Low tide was at 8:49am +1.9' and high tide will be at 4:01pm +5.0'. It's a 3.6' SSW swell out of 198 º  (Ginny will tell you it has to be higher than 215 º  for us to catch it) and it was 2' to 3' and nice to bodysurf some small ones and splash about... A nupa and Doc (#2) were sharing thoughts regarding turtles.  Apparently Doc knows more turtle jokes than we do... 🐢 "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... I  must follow them, I am their leader!" Andrew Bonar Law J ose Bacallao spotted a Green Sea Turtle (#1) off the reef at Point Fermin this morning.  This suggests to us that the water is getting warmer!  Honestly, we'd like to see a Green Sea Turtle...  I t seemed pretty warm to us this morning as the buoy registered a 71.6 º  and the air was a warm 69.0 º .  10 miles visibility under a hazy sun and winds were offshore 1 to 3kts.  Low tide was at 8:11am +1.3' and high tide is at 3:08pm +4.9'.  It's a 3.6' SSW swell out of 195 º  and it was 2' to 3' and actually pretty fun. T his weekend they threw open the gates to the pier and in processed Jah Morgan (#2) and her consort Christiano Von Stutzman, to the cheers of the assembled multitudes.  They will be heading to Hawaii this week where CVS will be competing i...
