1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday April 8th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,680 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:31,400 At first, you'll be interested to know, 50 years ago, today in 1974, American baseball 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,720 player Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth's record, which 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080 had stood since 1935. 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Aaron's record was then broken by Barry Bonds in 2007. 10 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,640 So now you know. 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480 And now you know what time it is. 12 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,560 It's time for the surf report. 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Expect surf in the thigh to waste high range early Monday, building slightly with a north-northwest 14 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,520 wind rebuild. 15 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,920 We should have clean conditions Tuesday, but smaller with a north-northwest and small south-southwest 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,840 swell mix. 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Monday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 3 to 4 feet until 18 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,080 noon. 19 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,560 After that, it's looking pretty choppy. 20 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Best time to ride is at 9 a.m. with a 4 and a half foot high tide when the east swell 21 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,880 is 4 feet at 10 seconds and the offshore wind is 4 mile per hour. 22 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,720 The first high tide Monday will be 5 feet just before 930 a.m. with a zero foot low 23 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,720 tide at 330. 24 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:53,080 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. 25 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,080 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area. 26 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:04,360 This morning it's mostly cloudy and feels like 52 degrees with 4 mile per hour wind. 27 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,180 The sunset will take place at 714 and it will rise again tomorrow at 625. 28 00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:17,000 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 65 and west wind of 10 29 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,800 to 15 mile per hour with gusts as high as 20. 30 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:30,700 Tonight mostly clear with a low around 51 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 31 00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:32,920 Looking ahead in the weather. 32 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:39,160 Tuesday will be sunny and pleasant with a high near 73 and wind of 5 to 15 mile per 33 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,640 hour. 34 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,120 Wednesday remains sunny with a high near 74 followed by patchy fog overnight. 35 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Thursday starts with fog then turns sunny with a high near 72. 36 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,960 Friday brings partly sunny skies and cooler temperatures with a high near 66. 37 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,300 Bonjour food enthusiasts. 38 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,920 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 39 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,400 Nestled on El Camino Real South just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 40 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200 for culinary delights. 41 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,760 Indulge in their amazing eggs betadict or their gluten free crepes. 42 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,440 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 43 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,520 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 44 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 45 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Any morning sends you. 46 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,320 In local news. 47 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,020 This week, Oceanside will start testing for its beach replenishment project, aiming to 48 00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:49,800 combat erosion by finding suitable sand offshore. 49 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,720 Core samples from 30 sites will be analyzed for potential dredging. 50 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,440 The initiative follows a study recommending sand sourcing to protect the beaches. 51 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Despite concerns over regional sand distribution, the city pursued innovative solutions, leading 52 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,880 to the selection of the Living Speed Bumps Plan from International Coastal Management. 53 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:19,120 This plan involves constructing headlands and an artificial reef to slow erosion, supplemented 54 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,280 by high quality sand dredging. 55 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:29,160 Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, Oceanside seeks to prepare the project by 2026 for further 56 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:38,920 grant opportunities, despite facing significant construction costs. 57 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Now on to sports. 58 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:47,040 In our March Madness update, the NCAA Men's National Championship game is set to be a 59 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,720 clash of titans, with number one Seeds Purdue and Yukon facing off. 60 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,720 Yukon enters as 6-point favorites. 61 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,640 Purdue reaches its first championship game since 1969, after defeating NC State, while 62 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960 Yukon overcame Alabama to vie for the title. 63 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,080 The game's pivotal figure is Purdue's, Sak Ede, whose performance could significantly 64 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,760 influence the outcome. 65 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,760 On Yukon's side, Donovan Klingon's defense against Ede will be critical. 66 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,360 Both teams have showcased strong offensive capabilities throughout the season, and the 67 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:35,320 game is predicted to be a high-scoring affair, with Yukon narrowly edging out Purdue. 68 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Giants 3-2, and in the 69 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:53,160 NBA, the Lakers at home lost to the Timberwolves 127-117, and the Clivers on the road beat 70 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,960 the Cavs 120-118. 71 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,600 Tonight, the Padres return home to take on the Cubs. 72 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:10,160 In top news, in honor of Monday morning, let's debunk some coffee myths, because it's not 73 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,440 the villain it's often made out to be. 74 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,200 Contrary to common beliefs, caffeine addiction poses minimal health and social risks, making 75 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,800 the term the addiction perhaps too severe for coffee enthusiasts. 76 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,200 Coffee isn't dehydrating as previously thought. 77 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,240 Moderate consumption balances out its diuretic effects. 78 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,360 It won't sober you up if you're drunk, though, nor does darker roast mean more caffeine. 79 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,520 Actually, lighter roasts might have slightly more, due to bean density changes during roasting. 80 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Most compellingly, coffee isn't harmful in moderation. 81 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,140 In fact, it's associated with reduced risks of several diseases, making it a beneficial 82 00:06:54,140 --> 00:07:01,500 part of many diets, provided intake is moderate and mindful of added sugars. 83 00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:08,140 In business news, Bitcoin's forth-having is imminent, set to reduce the mining reward 84 00:07:08,140 --> 00:07:19,680 from 6.25 to 3.125 Bitcoins, slashing the inflation rate from 1.8% to just under 1%. 85 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,320 This having impacts the supply-demand balance, potentially influencing Bitcoin's market 86 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,880 value. 87 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:33,160 The process integral to Bitcoin's design ensures a predictable, fixed supply, contrasting 88 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,920 with national currencies controlled by political forces. 89 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,640 While it may pressure miners, especially smaller ones, by reducing revenue, it also offers 90 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,960 an opportunity for efficiency improvements and market share gains among those prepared 91 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,960 with newer machinery. 92 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,240 Historically, halvings have been followed by price increases, though predicting short-term 93 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,640 movements remain speculative. 94 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,880 With growing institutional adoption and an increase in non-trading Bitcoin, the market 95 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,480 dynamics are evolving. 96 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:17,240 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just over $69,000, Ethereum is at $3,400, and Solana 97 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,240 is $177. 98 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 99 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:31,580 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 100 00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:35,920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 101 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,200 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 102 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 103 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920 and elevating mental well-being. 104 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,760 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 105 00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:00,080 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 106 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,320 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 107 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,440 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 108 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,160 And now back to the show. 109 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Let's talk science. 110 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:22,460 Avnos, a Los Angeles-based startup, is pioneering a new technology in Bakersfield, California 111 00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:28,040 that could revolutionize environmental efforts by extracting carbon dioxide and water from 112 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,040 the air. 113 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,440 This hybrid direct-air capture system not only aims to reduce atmospheric CO2, but 114 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,720 also produces water, offering a solution to drought conditions. 115 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Funded by both the Department of Energy and private investments, Avnos's innovation 116 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,120 seeks to lower the energy requirements of carbon capture while creating a sustainable 117 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280 water source. 118 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,320 As the climate crisis intensifies, technologies like Avnos's offer a glimpse into the potential 119 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:05,080 for significant impact through carbon capture and water production, addressing two critical 120 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,240 environmental challenges simultaneously. 121 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:18,320 And in entertainment news, Danny McBride, known for his role as Red in Penapple Express, 122 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,800 noted his enthusiasm for a sequel during GQ's most iconic characters series. 123 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,680 Despite the original becoming a cult classic, McBride mentioned that the possibility of 124 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:33,960 a sequel feels unlikely due to timing. 125 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:40,560 The film, which premiered in 2008, was a hit, grossing over $100 million. 126 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:46,760 However, Seth Rogen revealed that a sequel pitch was rejected by Sony, possibly due to 127 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,240 budget concerns. 128 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Rogen speculated they might have requested too much money for Sony's comfort. 129 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:00,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 130 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,040 And today, our quote comes from Hank Aaron. 131 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,720 And Hammerin, Hank said, 132 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,500 My motto was always to keep swinging. 133 00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:15,400 Whether I was in a slump, or feeling badly, or having trouble off the field, the only 134 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,440 thing to do was keep swinging. 135 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,720 Wise words, Hammer. 136 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Wise words. 137 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,080 And that's a wrap for this morning. 138 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:32,280 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 139 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,640 with local news and the surf reports. 140 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,520 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 141 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:45,680 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
