NOW There’s Rain In Spain Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Here we are in Santillana Del Mar, which isn’t particularly close to the mar.  Yesterday we visited Santander and had a grand beach day, which included eats and some splashing in the Atlantico.  It was a perfect 1’ and rolling along a broad stretch of flat beach that had some extreme tides.

Let’s not forget it’s Doc’s Birthday today (the 20th, we have only a remote idea what time it is where you are!). Looks like a beautiful day in the Southland with partly cloudy skies and 10 miles visibility.  Winds are calm and the sea surface is smooth.  69.6º in the water and going up to near 80º in the air.  One high tide today at 4pm +4.7’. It’s a SSW swell out of 199º at 3.3’ and it’s 2’ and keep looking for the corners…
 
On to Commillas then Oviedo.  Commillas has a private residence designed by Gaudi and Oviedo is known for its medieval old town and gothic cathedral.  While the rest of Spain cooks it’s raining up here in the north, so we’ll opt for some indoor activities.  We’re hoping our beach photos of Santander download so we can share some ankle snappers…

Lost Boys & Co... A lright good citizens!  So how do they come up with generic names for these wonder drugs?  Like this:   The assignment of a generic name, also known as an International Nonproprietary Name (INN), is a global effort coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO) through its INN Programme. This program establishes unique and universally accepted names for pharmaceutical substances to avoid confusion and enhance patient safety. Generic names are designed to be distinctive in sound and spelling, avoiding similarity with existing trademarks or other drug names.  A bit onshore from the get-go, with winds in the 2 to 6kts range.  Made for some bump out there under cloudy skies.  It started out at 58.0 º  and honestly kept dropping for the early morning.  The water was marginally warmer at 61.5 º .  High tide was at 8:09am +3.5' and low tide will be at 1:13pm ...
