That's A Hat Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...
All 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...

Turtle 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.  67.8º in the air and 71.6º 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 197º 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...

When 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 "Clarke the Meth Hunter."  Kinda of a big deal when Clarke went "Dark" and had Greener bounce the miscreants...

Pecking Order Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... W hat we have here (above) is Doc drawing our attention to a hapless paddler who, first, jumped in by the tower and is now somewhere near 4th St.  He then proceeded to get caught in a rip, pushed into an outside set that tested his leash and his resolve. He managed to get back in to shore, but needed a few minutes to gather himself... J umbled conditions from the winds last night and they're predicted to blow again today and this evening.  Currently its anywhere from 6 to 20kts and the sea surface is chopped up.  The air was chilly this morning at 47.5 º  and the water is 62.4 º , but that might drop with these winds.  Low tide at 6:46am +2.1' and high tide follows at 112:17pm +4.2'.  It's a blustery west swell out of 268 º  at 6.6' and it looks like about 4' to 7' with the wind knocking down some of the peaks.  Swell looks strong though and if the winds change it could be good... H ere we have Doc on his soap box preaching t...
