  Lost Boys & Co... H appy Hour this week will be at Mike's, Laurel Tavern or Oral Cavern.  Whatever...  5:30pm... F rom the Danger Boy archives we have this marimba.  It needs a bit of TLC, but we trust in no time at all we'll be hearing it's restored dulcet tones... C razy weather this morning with patchy fog and winds blowing through all four cardinal points from 2 to 10kts.  The sea surface had a bit of bump.  The air temp was 54.6 and the water is hanging low around 58.6.  Low tide early at 5:38am -0.4' and high tide will follow at 11:50am +4.4'.  A building swell out of the west to WSW around 250ยบ at 3.9' ramping up to between 6' to 8' this evening.  It'll all depend on the wind in the morning... H ere we have one from the Midget Gidget series.  After starting on longboards with the Professor she graduated to this 5'11" "Red October Model" that the Professor shaped and attempted to air brush to look like an airplane wing....

  Lost Boys & Co... S o in photo #1 we have the Danger Boy archives.  They were removed from their vault a couple of days ago and it's the first time some of these treasures have seen the light in decades.  Obviously, all of that stuff couldn't have been in that little shed.  The shed is just a facade for a much larger system of vaults and tunnels that connect various parts of the property.  Danger Girl will be cataloging and filing pertinent objects with the intent of exhibiting them in the Museum of Danger®. H azy sun this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were calm, but again some residual bumpiness from last night.  The air temperature was 54.4 and the water (at the buoy) is 58.6, but feels like it's in the 60's in the surfline.  High tide is at 10:58am +4.9' and low tide will be at 4:54pm +0.3'.  Tides flip tomorrow as we start with a -0.4' tide at 5:38am.  We had a 4.3' WSW swell out of 254ยบ and it was 3' to 6' depending...

N othing is ever easy... F rom Big Daddy... "You can't open with the glass para/photo/graph and not explain it.   W ere you breaking into something?  Did you get caught? Were you successful in your "acquisition" attempt?  Are there pictures of that? Who was with you? Who drove the getaway car? Was it the guy from a few weeks ago?  If so, did he get you on the news live? If not, why not???   O r, were you breaking out of somewhere?  If so, why did you create ...

  Lost Boys & Co... O k, how many times do you think we had to hit this pane of glass with a hammer before it broke?  Never mind the right answer is 5.  And it took a pretty good swing.  Personally, we have "bumped" into panes of glass and had them shatter.  This was something else... M ostly clear skies with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light offshore by 2.2kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a chilly 50.2 and the water is 59.5.  High tide was at 9:30am +5.4' and low tide will be at 3:47pm -0.3'.  We have a west swell out of 267ยบ at 5.2' and it was 4' to 6' and there were a few surf-prises out there...  Could be another good one maรฑana... I n some circles, known as "The Guzzler", Danger Girl hefts a schooner at Tower 12.  This was a tall order even for the Guzzler.  32oz of your favorite brew for $6.50.  The only trouble is that you have to lift the damned thing...

  Lost Boys & Co... C huck's grandson Anderson was so into the bulldozers digging up the berm this morning, that he ran with the Professor all the way down to see them...  C lear skies and 0ver 20 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore all day 9 to 16kts and the sea surface was choppy.  The air was a wind driven 54.3 and the water is 59.2.  High tide was at 6:44am +4.6' and low tide followed at1:43pm +0.0' setting up for minus tides for a few days.  We have a diminishing WSW swell out of 241ยบ that was 7.5' this morning and should be about 3.5' maรฑana...

Water Color Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

  Lost Boys & Co... A little date night trip to the Laurel Tavern.  Here we have LoLa and Chef Ivan who was doing prep this evening...  Dinner looked like this:  Chopped Salad, Smoked Brussels Sprouts and the meat and cheese platter.  A cocktail and later an ice cream across the street at Paradis makes for a fine evening... 10 miles visibility this morning under mostly cloudy skies.  Winds wee on early variable from 3 to 15kts and the sea surface was bumped to lightly choppy.  The air temperature was 58.7 and the water is 60.3, but might have a hard time staying that warm with all this wind.  March is living up to it's reputation!  High tide is at 5:50am +4.3' and low tide will be at 1:08pm +0.3'.  This morning the swell was out of 274ยบ west at 2.6' and that has been growing steadily all day until it hit 5.2' this evening.  The morning surf will depend mostly on the wind.  If it's offshore, it could be all time.  If i...

  Lost Boys & Co... T he speed record on water is held by this seal, although it has been called into question because of his assisted start.  It seems that he got some advantage from being launched by this big shark guy...  Whatever the case, we consider it valid... M eanwhile, cloudy and rain off and on during the day.  Visibility variable to 5 miles.  Winds were offshore most of the morning to 4.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 56.3 and the water is 60.3.  Low tide is at 12:25pm +0.6' and high tide is late at 7:30pm +3.3' as the tide re-align themselves for the week.  We have an increasing SW swell out of 199ยบ at 2.3' and the surf was 2' and too close to the shore for most of the morning.  Should be building tomorrow and peak on Thursday as the weather passes through...  Stay tuned... I n case you thought Chรฉ might have been pissed off at Aubrie's golf club modifications, here we have a photo of them s...
