Liquid Lines is a surf column with some science, local events and social commentary. Normally, I’d be talking about how annoying it is that we started our American tradition of arguing about the Super Bowl halftime show in September this year instead of February. Then I would delve into the past week’s surf conditions and look ahead at the forecast with the events coming up. Fun stuff, especially in October.
