Lost Boys & Co.

  Lost Boys & Co... W e have discovered that if you climb to the second floor of the new Brothers (at the big corner of Manhattan Ave. and Longfellow) you can do a credible job of checking out the surf.  We submit photo #1 as an example... C lear skies this morning and 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light onshore by 1.9kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 50.1 and the water is 59.5.  Low tide was at 6:25am -0.5' and high tide will follow at 12:58pm +3.4'.  We have a WSW swell out of 240º at 2.6' and it was 2'+ with some nice little peelers.  Jetski and Bacallao had the savages on the beach rioting as they proceeded to rip the little wedges...  Fun to surf with those guys... P hoto #2 features Mr. Ivan Fernandez rattling the signpost to emphasize his location...  we get it, we get it... I n photo #3 Gidget has demonstrated her abilities to render tower R.B.  We need one of those for the Tiki Bar... H appy hour this ...

  Lost Boys & Co... W indy, cool and gray, which is what you'll find today...  Burma Shave! S o, there's about 3 miles visibility under those cloudy skies shown in Exhibit #1.  Winds are on and increasing and the sea surface is bumped and rough.  The air temperature is 54.9 and the water is 58.8.  Low tide was early at 5:03am -0.5' and high tide will be at 11:18am +3.9'.  There's a west swell out of 265º running at 5.2' and it's 3' to 5' with an occasionally larger set...  Patience... tomorrow could be good... T here is a pier somewhere that could've used these pilings (#2)...  But NO, they're here in Redondo leading you down the piney path to the immoral and wanton Monstadt Pier...  A path that we've traversed countless times.  But we're okay with that... A ctually, it would have been vastly more interesting if they had planted the palm trees in and above Veterans Park along the George Freeth walk to the pier.  You could glimps...

  Lost Boys & Co... O ne year ago today some of the boys were gathered at the counter sharing stories with Anderson.  This is the kind of situation you want to monitor closely if you're a parent.  Especially Boris sharing the weekends happenings...  (from l. to r.  the Professor, John Suddith, Jetski and Anderson)  Speaking of John Suddith he's recovering now from a motorcycle accident that left him with a broken back.  Fortunately he wasn't paralyzed, but he was dragged twenty feet across PCH and unceremoniously deposited on the curb... C loudy and 10 miles visibility this morning, with winds out of the SW at 5.2kts and smooth seas.  The air temperature was 50.9 and the water is 59.2.  High tide was at 10:35am +4.3' and low tide will be at 4:00pm +1.2'.  We had a west swell out of 260º at 5.2' and it was 3' to 5' with some excellent waves.  We hit the water with José Bacallao this morning and it's always a pleasure to surf with...

  Lost Boys & Co... D on't be so hard on yourself...  (#1) A hazy 10 miles visibility under partly cloudy skies.  Winds are out of the south at 3.9kts and the sea surface is a bit bumped.  The air temp is 56.3 and the water is 58.8.  High tide is at 8:28am +4.7' and low tide follows at 2:30pm +0.2'.  We have a SSW swell out of 210º at 3.6' and it's 4' to 5' with some thick fat ones on the outside...  Wind is kinda knocking things down, but could be good tomorrow... " W hy are these men laughing? (#2)"  Probably because they're anticipating the good time at Laurel Tavern tonight...  see you at 5:30pm... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

  Lost Boys & Co... Y ou know how it's overcast most of the day, but things clear up just before sunset...  Well, this was one of those days (#1).  Apricot sky fading into dark blue, indigo...  and the parking lot, very photogenic... S un was trying desperately to break through this morning and visibility was 5 miles.  Winds were light onshore and there was a slight bump on the sea surface.  The air temp was 55.6 and the water is 58.5.  High tide was at 7:37am +4.7' and low tide will follow at 1:54pm -0.0'.  It was slabby and high tide with a SSW swell out of 199º at 3.0', but it looked bigger than that and we'll venture that it was more like 3' to 5' on the inconsistent sets... D o YOU know the difference between Iowa and Idaho...  (#2)  Actually, this is the map of the state of Idaho, with "Iowa" emblazoned on the inside.  This is what passes for humor in Idaho...  Iowa is pretty square (shape) except for where it bulges ...

  Lost Boys & Co... F armers use these gloves to (#1)...  Wait...  Never mind... H azy sun this morning and 5 miles visibility.  Winds are light out of the SSW by 1-2kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temperature is 55.5 and the water is trying at 58.3.  High tide was at 6:39am +4.6' and low tide will be at 1:14pm -0.1'.  We have a WSW swell out of 254º at 2.6' and it's 2' to 3' and needs a little less tide... F ins to the left... (#2)  Should you be lucky enough to be one of Redondo High's outstanding surfers, one of these beauties will be making it's way to your mantle... S pring is here and this mamma dove and one of her two offspring were eating and enjoying the sunshine (#3).  A pair of doves made their nest in this succulent plant next to the south scullery window here at Mar y Fuego...  Our National Geographic moment... R emember happy hour is at Laurel Tavern this Friday.  5:30pm at the main table...  unles...

  Lost Boys & Co... A lthough extremely rare, we managed to catch this "fogbow" (#1) on Saturday as the sun began to burn through the fog.  It actually arced over the pier, but we couldn't get back far enough to catch the entire phenomenon... O vercast this morning with 3 miles visibility.  Winds were variable early, at one point turning offshore for about 10 minutes, but they were primarily WSW by 1.1kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 56.3 and the water was 59.0, but felt more like 57 or 58.  Still stings the hands a bit.  Low tide was at 11:29am -2.0' and high tide was late at 6:30pm +4.0'.  We had a SSW swell out of 195º at 3.0' and that what it was in the surfline, breaking fairly far out on the rising tide... S ince Louie-Louey's/Anthony's/Moon's went under we've been scouting out places to eat on Monday nights.  Originally, this started out as a Monday Night Football gathering, but it's morphed into a yea...
