Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... T arsan sent us the following:  "I grew up with Bob Hope, Steve Jobs and Johnny Cash.  Now there's no Jobs, no Cash and no Hope!  Please don't let anything happen to Kevin Bacon..." W e may have to take up golf, if this goes on for much longer... (#1) A beautiful spring morning with nary a cloud in the sky and 20+ miles visibility.  Winds wee light offshore at 1.2kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 65.3 and the water is 64.4.  High tide was at 8:29am +4.9' and low tide will be at 2:24pm +0.1'.  There's a fine west swell out of 263º at 4.3' and the surf is 2' to 4' and you can stare at it from a distance... M iloe and the Professor are itching to get their act on the road.  Miloe just got this electrified ukulele (#2) so he can reach the back of the auditorium... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... I n every pandemic there's a silver lining.  Well, maybe not silver, maybe black.  In this case (#1) Lord Vader is making his usual pitch for the Dark Side.  He has just been nominated to run for governor of Georgia...  (photo credit:  J. Bacallao for The Tattooine Twin Sun ) T he tide is red and we're moving on...  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qhWkryU77qeeXqqT6y8AZ6H0Bqq2OhEI/view?usp=drivesdk Making for some spectacular luminescent waves in the evening.  But this morning we had 20+ miles visibility and relatively cloudless skies.  Winds were out of the SE by 4kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 60.5 and the water is warming to 64.6.  High tide was at 7:36am +4.9' and low tide will be at 1:47pm -0.1', as we get closer to the full moon on the 7th.  There's a west swell out of 270º true, at 3.6' and it's 2' to 4' and this is one of those days when getting into the water would be rea...

Lost Boys & Co... " M ay Gray" (#1) arrived right on time and in classic form...  Like 5 miles visibility under overcast skies, with winds out of the south by 4.1kts.  The sea surface has a slight bump to it.  The air is 61.0 and the water has warmed to 62.8, despite the LA Times suggesting that it's in the 70's.  Fake News.  Low tide is at 11:38am -0.1' and high tide follows late at 6:42pm +4.0'.  We have a WNW swell out of 282º at 4.3' and it's 2' to 3' depending on your 1020...  We'd also like to thank all of those behind the Orange Curtain for fucking things up for the rest of us by flaunting the stay in place order at the beach.  Now we'll probably have to quarantine LONGER at the beach because they were so belligerent... T he Seawright's were one of Hermosa's first, "first families" and their exploits have been well documented.  We ran across this memorial (#'s 2 & 3) up at the top of the old "S...

Lost Boys & Co... G hastly crumb foggies this morning (#1) with a couple of miles visibility.  Winds are out of the south by 3.2kts and the sea surface was slightly rippled.  The air temperature was 62.3 and the water is 64.2.  Low tide was at 9:24am +0.2' and high tide will be at 5:50pm +3.2' for your luminescent pleasure.  Last night we strolled down to take a look and there must have been 40 folks at Torrance Beach watching the waves light up the beach.  We have a south swell out of 176º at 2.6' and it was 2' at your locally closed beaches... S ince the contagion has quieted things down, there has been a proliferation of wildlife.  Like this morning on the east side of the Mar y Fuego Estate, where this pair of mallards (#2) were waddling among the ferns. K ind of puts you off ham & cheese (#3).  Easy to say "cheesy" or call him a "hamola," but they're telling us that with a shot of Lysol™ things go down really smooth.  Tomato ties are...

Lost Boys & Co... K im Jong Un (#1), is not hiding in the Tiki Bar.  "KJ" as we like to call him, came in for a drink, maintained proper social distancing and left...  We have suggested that rumors of his demise are premature and certainly in poor taste...  He knows he's in the "at risk" demographic.  He smokes, he's overweight, he's borderline diabetic and according to legend, doesn't take or give a shit...  M eanwhile, this view (#2) of California St., Ventura, includes at least 30 surfers eager to disport themselves in the Pacific.  Fairly crowded for a Tuesday morning, we're still hoping they ease the restrictions on our own beaches.  In Hermosa, we had partly cloudy, hazy skies and 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light out of the SE by 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 61 and the water is 63.0, which goes to show what a few days of sun will do.  It's also created a bit of a red tide bloom and you'...

Lost Boys & Co... A beautiful spring morning (#1) with winds from the east by 3kts and the sea surface was smooth for a bit.  The air temp was 60.0 and the water is 59.4.  High tide was at 10:27am +4.0' and low tide will follow at 3:55pm +1.2'.  There's a 3.0' swell out of the WSW (240º) and it was a quite surfable 2' to 3' and all of a sudden, it's like, "Wow, we'd sure like to get out there and disport ourselves among the breakers."  Here's hoping we'll get back in the water sooner than later...  Patience, patience, patience... W hile biking back to the Mar y Fuego estate, we saw a plume of white and then a California Gray Whale (#2) having some fun close to shore.  They often come in close and rub against the sand to get rid of some of the barnacles that have attached themselves to their skin.  This one was solo without a calf, so we imagined it might be a solitary male... K ira (#3) has been playing on Thursday evenings at 6pm....

Lost Boys & Co... L et's start our by wishing LoLa a happy birthday!  The brains behind the entire Paine family madness, she is famous for her early morning runs, long bike rides and adventurous spirit...  If it weren't for her we might not have ever left the couch...  (#1  LoLa and the Professor in their very stylish masks...) T he swell is finally picking up and on this fine spring day we have 10 miles visibility under partly cloudy skies.  Winds were light out of the SSW by 2.1kts and the sea surface had a bit of bump to it.  The air was 56.5 and the water dropped a couple of degrees to 58.5.  High tide was at 9:18am +4.4' and low tide will be at 3:11pm +0.9'.  We have a SW swell out of 223º at 4.3' and it's not quite good at 2' and rather ragged... B est hair in rock 'n roll, Kira "Bones" Lingman (#3), front woman for the "Hollow Legs."  She'll be doing a live video cast this Thursday for all of her fans... T hen we have t...
