Thirsty Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

As Buster Poindexter would say "Hot, hot, hot..."

When Doc & the Professor say their "rolling" they mean business...

Visibility is 10 miles under hazy sun.  Winds are calm and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp at checkout was 56.0º and the water is an even warmer 64.0º.  High tide is at 10:08am +5.1' and low tide will be at 4:11pm +0.1'.  It's a 2.3' south swell out of 191º.  It's slapping on the sand, but maybe something at low tide...  Check'em out...

A beautiful morning, with a few big clouds bumping along and 20 miles visibility.  Winds started onshore from the crack and they were light at checkout...
