Get your first gander at Joe G.'s new short masterpiece, starring Dion Agius, Nate Tyler, and Creed McTaggart, premiering in Santa Monica this Thursday night at 9PM.

Joe G. and the Globe Team are back at it, with their next installment of the brand's "Cult Of Freedom" series, this newest short masterpiece featuring a few of the usual suspects, Creed McTaggart, Dion Agius, and Nate Tyler, filmed on idyllic New Zealand shores (free of any gunfire, we hope).

According to the crew, "the third installment of "Cult of Freedom" takes us to the North Island of New Zealand, with Creed McTaggart, Dion Agius, and Nate Tyler. The boys spent a good portion of the trip dodging wind and rain and shooting a slingshot, but ended up stumbling upon a few out of the way spots that delivered really fun surf in a dreamlike location.'

Hurricane Norman Weakens to Cat 3, Modest Swell Reaches SoCal
Norman has weakened a notch through the day, dropping to 110kts, losing some of its visually impressive structure along the way. The cyclone is now asymmetrical with a closed eyewall as shear impacts the northeastern part of the storm. A gradual but steady decrease in intensity is forecast through the period. Norman poses no threat to land at this time, tracking westward away from the mainland. Remember that Norman is a small cyclone, well over a 1000 miles from SoCal and moving in the wrong direction -- all strikes against swell reaching back into SoCal.


Latest visible satellite image of the Eastern Pacific shows Hurricane Norman in the center, Hurricane Miriam off to the west, and a low pressure system to the east of Norman that is forecast to become Olivia next week.

Latest Storm Info

Norman is now a top-end Cat 3 Hurricane with 110kt sustained winds in Friday's 2pm PDT advisory. Norman is over 750nm west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, heading west-southwest at seven knots and is no threat to land at this time. Norman continues a gradual weakening trend as shear impacts the cyclone and it moves over cooler surface waters.


Norman is expected to remain a hurricane through the official five-day forecast period, potentially losing that status around the end of the forecast period. Expected track continues to the west-southwest before turning back west-northwest over the weekend.
