Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, March 26th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and
entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 45 years ago, today in 1979, the Israel-Egypt
Peace Treaty was signed.
Beginning at the Camp David Accords in 1978, under President Carter, Egyptian President
Saadat and Israeli Prime Minister Begin, resulted in the first peace treaty between Israel and
Egypt.
Despite political and negotiation challenges, this landmark agreement marked a high point
in the Arab-Israeli peace process during Carter's presidency, with future negotiations encountering
significant obstacles.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
It's looking rough out there today.
Beyond Tuesday, anticipate a mix of northwest and west-northwest swells, offering ways to
stomach-high surf, improving to chest, and occasionally head-high at standout spots.
The weekend sees deteriorating conditions with a new swell and uncertain wind forecasts.
Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking fair at 2 to 4 feet, until 10
AM, then the chop rolls in again.
Wednesday is looking pretty good, so hang in there.
Best time to ride is at 7 AM, with a 2-foot incoming tide, when the west-southwest swell
is 4 feet at 8 seconds and the unsure wind is 1 mile per hour.
The first high tide Tuesday will be 4 feet at 10 30 AM, with a 1-foot low tide at 4 30.
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area, this morning it's cloudy and feels
like 56 degrees, with 4 mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 704, and it will rise again tomorrow at 642.

In local news, the Gallagher Square at Peco Park recently underwent a $20 million renovation,
prominently featuring the Tony Gwynn Terrace.
This renovation celebrates Tony Gwynn's legacy and includes a walkway linking Gwynn's
statue to Trevor Hoffman's, and is adorned with crushed red tiles symbolizing faceball
stitches.
The space aims to educate new generations about Gwynn's impact on and off the field,
featuring murals of his career achievements.
Additional renovations include tiered lawn seating, a new entry gate, enhanced video
boards, a relocated kids' ball field, and a dog park.
Gallagher Square also serves as a concert venue and public space, with an event planned
this Thursday for watching San Diego State's Sweet 16 Showdown Against Yukon.
I can't wait to visit.
Now on to sports.
The Connecticut men's basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16, dominating Northwestern with
a 75-58 win.
Their quest for back-to-back national titles continues as they face San Diego State next.
Yukon's impressive streak includes 29 non-conference wins by double digits, showcasing their dominance.
Despite a poor three-point shooting performance, they dominated inside, with key players Tristan
Newton, Cam Spencer, and Donovan Klingon leading the scoring.
Klingon notably achieved a 14-14 double-double with eight blocks.
Yukon's comprehensive strategy has them poised for potential championship success,
reminiscent of Florida's back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007.
Last night in local sports, the Clippers at home lost to the Pacers, 133-116, and the
Kings on the road beat the Cucks, 3-2.
Tonight, the Lakers are on the road in Milwaukee to take on the Bucks.
And top news.
Targeting belly fat specifically for weight loss is largely a myth.
Our bodies decide where to store and lose fat based on factors beyond our control, such
as genetics and biological sex.
Although visceral fat, which accumulates around the abdomen, poses health risks, the strategies
to reduce it aren't localized, but rather impact the whole body.
Weight loss through a calorie deficit and regular exercise, including high-intensity
interval training, can reduce overall body fat, including abdominal fat.
However, no diet or exercise plan can promise to target belly fat exclusively.
The variability in body fat distribution is natural and largely predetermined, making
generalized weight loss the most effective approach.
And business news.
The U.S. Treasury market, the world's largest financial market, is expanding rapidly, raising
concerns among investors about potential instability.
With annual U.S. Treasury issuance nearly doubling since the pandemic, the market grew
to $27 trillion by 2023.
This growth is driven by the government's need to finance deficits through bond issuance,
amidst expectations of continued government spending increases.
The market's expansion and regulatory changes could pose challenges, including potential
cash shortages similar to those in 2019 and 2020.
The shift towards more short-term debt and the changing landscape of Treasury buyers,
including reduced bank purchases due to regulatory constraints, are notable trends.
Despite these challenges, demand for Treasuries remains strong, partly due to limited alternatives
in the bond market.
The role of foreign investors, especially from Japan, remains significant, though changing
global financial conditions could affect their participation.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now over $70,000.
Ethereum is at $3,600.
And Solana is nearing $200.

Let's talk tech.
Nissan has updated its electrification strategy, aiming to electrify 16 out of 30 vehicles
by 2026, signaling a shift towards more sustainable transportation.
While specifics on the all-electric versus hybrid mix remain unclear, the U.S. market
can expect seven new models, including e-power and plug-in hybrids.
This move marks a progression from Nissan's 2021 promise, though comparisons are challenging
without detailed vehicle classifications.
Additionally, Nissan anticipates 60 percent of its global portfolio to be electrified
by 2030, increasing the total to 34 vehicles.
Amidst these plans, Nissan seems to be recalibrating its ambitions regarding all-solid state battery
technology, now targeting a broader range of battery innovations by 2028.
And in entertainment news, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is rebooting with a TV series
at Amazon and GM Studios as Making Progress, which showrunner Vena said expressing her
enthusiasm for adapting Stieg Larsson's iconic novels for television.
The series aims to introduce a new incarnation of Lisbeth Salander, showcasing a woman who
defies societal norms.
While details remain sparse, this standalone story promises to bring a fresh perspective
to the celebrated Millennium Trilogy, which has already inspired multiple film adaptations.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, said,
It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on Earth, and if we can teach
our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be
here forever.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
