Like clockwork the witches (#1 & #2) appeared at Brothers this morning riding in on their "Broomcycles." A new twist this year was that they have gone electric on the broomcycles.  Catch them tomorrow at Brothers as they swoop through the neighborhood looking for a charge...

10 miles visibility this morning under cloudy skies.  Light offshore winds and smooth seas.  The air temp was 62.2º and the water is an amazing 74.8º.  That number would be outstanding any time during the summer and early fall, but it's late October and it's hard to imagine.  Low tide is early at 4:43am +2.6' and high tide is at 11:16am +6.5'.  It's that persistent SSW swell out of 206º at 2.6' and it was 2' on the sand.

Here (#3) we have Emily Watson, producer, director and editor getting ready to head out in the Wiggly Bus after shooting a doc for 'Nupes and Fish On.  She's been doing some great work for environmental and public consciousness.  Let us remind you to tune into the "Fish On Air" podcast to keep up with what's happening in our ocean community.✠et up early mañana and head down to El Porto to catch some great women's surfing!  Women's Shortboards go all morning and Familia faves like Edith Perez and Milly Horstman will be competing.  So set your alarm and head down...

Lost Boys & Co... I t's one of those mornings when the photo (#1) looks better than the actual surf.  Really, it's gray and about 7 miles visibility under that low overcast.  Winds are light offshore 1 to 3kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 58.0 º  and the water is 61.9 º  at the buoy, but they're calling it 66 º  on the lifeguard chalkboard.  High tide was at 8:24am +4.0' and low tide follows at 1:42pm +1.1'.  It's a SW swell out of 222 º  at 3.0'.  It's a solid 3'+ but it's smacking the sand with a real snap.  A few more degrees and this would be a good boogie/whomping morning...  T his Saturday is the closing party for the latest VEFA show "Monumental" which showcases the sculptural works of Andy Scott.  6 to 8pm at the gallery on 16th.  On display are sketches, maquettes and a large scale steel equine artwork (#2)... ✠ ...

Lost Boys & Co... A ctually quite a lovely spring morning with excellent visibility under clear skies (#1).  Winds were naggingly persistent out of the west at 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was lumpy/bumpy.  The air was 58.0 º  and the water at the buoy dropped to 59.4 º .  All that wind has not been helpful.  High tide was at 9:46am +3.5' and low tide follows at 2:11pm +2.1'.  A full moon on Sunday.  We have a 2.6' SSW swell out of 201 º  and it was 2' to 3' and pretty ragged... S ide effects are "side effects" until they are effects.  Which they would be if they happen to you.  Some of our faves this week were:  Sensitivity to light, general and specific infections, fistulous withers, stomach tears, pain, chills, choleric symptoms, bony protrusions on the skull (horns?) and nostril whistling... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!! ...
