Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, June 12th.
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, science
and entertainment.
At first, you'll be interested to know 85 years ago, today in 1939.
The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York held its first induction ceremony
with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner among the inaugural class.
In the first baseball writers' association of America Hall of Fame election in 1936,
Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Kristi Mathewson, Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner were chosen.
This voting process, which considered players whose careers began after 1900, sparked national
debate, particularly due to unexpected votes against Cobb and Ruth.
This historic event solidified the significance of being a Hall of Famer.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect a new southwest swell building through midweek, with waist-to-shoulder highways and
larger at standout spots.
Mornings will have light and variable wind, trending onshore by midday with manageable
afternoon conditions.
Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.
It's looking fair in the morning at 4 to 5 feet before 11 a.m. and choppy in the afternoon.
One of the best mornings we've seen in a while, though.
Get out there early.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a one-and-a-half foot outgoing tide when the west-northwest
swell is two-and-a-half feet at 17 seconds and the onshore wind is four mile per hour.
The first low tide Wednesday will be one foot at 8.45 a.m. with a four-foot high tide just
after four.
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 66 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.
This morning it's foggy and feels like 62 degrees with two mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.57 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.40.
It looks like we're in for some patchy drizzle before 8 a.m. and patchy fog before 11.
Otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 72 and west wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour.
Tonight it'll be cloudy with a low around 60.
Looking ahead in the weather.
Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high near 71 after morning fog clears.
Friday will be mostly cloudy in the morning clearing up to sunny with a high near 72 after
morning fog clears.
This weekend will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 70s.

Sunny mornings send you.
In local news, the Encinitas Planning Commission approved a new two-story restaurant at the
former Beachside Bar and Grill.
The project includes a 1,500 square foot, second-story patio, ground floor outdoor seating,
and amplified music for up to four musicians.
The restaurant will have a second floor patio that closes earlier than the ground floor
patio.
Noise levels will be monitored with decibel meters, and the establishment will encourage
public transportation use.
The project also plans to add landscaping around the building.
Now on to sports.
Chris Stapps-Porzingis has a torn medial retinaculum, causing tendon instability, putting his NBA
Finals availability at risk.
The injury suffered during game two could limit his lateral movement and shot contesting.
The Celtics, leading the series two games to none, may rely more on Al Horford, who
might see increased minutes.
Coach Joe Masula will decide porzing his status with medical staff before game three tonight.
His absence would impact Boston's offensive spacing and defensive strategy.
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Athletics 4-3.
And this afternoon, the Padres end their home stand at Petco Park with a final game of the
series against the A's.
After that, they head out to the East Coast for a three-game series with the Mets starting
Friday.
In top news, Johnson & Johnson will pay $700 million to settle a lawsuit with 42 states
accused of misleading customers about the safety of its talc-based baby powder.
The product, discontinued in 2023, was found to sometimes contain asbestos, leading to
cancer.
The Johnson & Johnson has not admitted guilt.
It now uses cornstarch in its baby powder.
The settlement still requires judicial approval, and they face many more lawsuits related to
its talc products.
In business news, the proposed sale of Paramount Global to David Ellison's Skydance Media
collapsed, due to the withdrawal of support from Sherry Redstone, the controlling shareholder.
Despite months of negotiations and reaching an agreement on financial terms, the deal
fell apart because of disagreements over shareholder voting rights and cash distribution.
Paramount will continue under its current leadership, exploring other opportunities
as Redstone keeps her options open amid interest from other potential buyers.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $67,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is $151.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.
And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
MIT researchers have developed a supercapacitor from water, cement, and carbon black, creating
a new way to store energy inside modified concrete.
Though supercapacitors charge and discharge quickly, they're less energy dense than
lithium ion batteries.
Potential applications include roads that wirelessly charge cars and building materials
that store energy.
Currently, the technology can only power a 10-watt LED for 30 hours, but scaling up could
allow it to meet residential energy needs.
Challenges include scaling the technology for wider deployment due to manufacturing
complexities and resource scarcities.
And in entertainment news.
The Boys, Season 4, debuts on Prime Video tomorrow, with the first three episodes, followed
by weekly releases until July 18.
Critics have mixed views on whether the show remains fresh, but agree that it delivers
for die-hard fans.
Season 4 is noted to be darker, more political, and still funny, with strong performances.
There are no major issues reported, and prior viewing of Gen V isn't necessary.
The show's boldness, luddiness, and humor continue to impress, though it's bleaker
than previous seasons.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Sultan of Swat, Bade Ruth, and he said,
As soon as I got out there, I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound.
It was as if I'd been born out there.
Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world.
And striking out batters was easy.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
