Land Of The Long White Cloudy Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Image
  Lost Boys & Co... O kay, so maybe we're not THE land of the long white cloud, but we HAVE long white clouds...  We also have electricity, which somehow makes us feel a bit better about progress...  sort of... S o it was cool and cloudy with a hint of drizzle.  3 miles of gray visibility, kinda like what dogs see all the time.  Winds were persistent from the SSE by 6kts and the sea surface had a definite bump.  The air temperature was 60.1 and the water is 62.2.  High tide was at 11:16am +3.7' and low tide will be at 3:56pm +2.1'.  We have a SSW swell out of 209ยบ at 2.6' and it was 2' to 3' but pretty walled as long as we watched.  If you could'a hung around for a little longer, you might have had a shot at some better shaped waves... H ow much longer do we have to suffer long rubber?  Actually, you can make the change NOW!  You can throw on your shorty and hit the surf.  It's a little cool, but HEY!  Morgan trunked (...
