Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, June 14th.
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 247 years ago, today in 1777.
The Continental Congress defined the United States flag, which we now commemorate on Flag
Day, celebrated on June 14th.
President Wilson proclaimed it in 1916 and President Truman made it a formal observance
in 1949.
Wabeka, Wisconsin claims to be the birthplace of Flag Day, thanks to Bernard J. Segrand,
a teacher who promoted the holiday.
Despite its national recognition, only Pennsylvania observes it as a state holiday.
Wabeka honors the day with essays, parades and deep patriotic passion.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect a mix of southwest swell and northwest windswell on Friday, with waist-to-chest
high waves at average breaks and shoulder-high waves at standouts in San Diego.
The southwest swell lingers on Saturday as the northwest windswell bumps up, with average
combo exposures in the waist-to-chest to shoulder-high range.
Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.
It's looking fair in the morning at 3-plus feet before 10 a.m.
After that, it will be pretty choppy, but it might ease up around sunset.
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot outgoing tide when the north-northwest swell

The first low tide Friday will be 1 foot at 10-15 a.m. with a 5-foot high tide just before

On top news, Boeing will conduct additional inspections on some 787 Dreamliner jets due
to incorrectly installed fuselage fasteners impacting undelivered planes.
This disclosure follows FAA Chief Michael Whittaker's statement that the agency's
oversight of Boeing has been too hands-off.
The FAA, increasing its scrutiny, has stationed more inspectors at Boeing factories.
Despite previous quality issues, Boeing assures that 787s in service are safe.
This announcement precedes Boeing CEO's upcoming Senate testimony on addressing the
company's quality control shortcomings.
In business news, a federal judge is likely to reject a proposed settlement in a lawsuit
alleging Visa, MasterCard, and major credit card issuers restrict competition over merchant
fees.
The judge deemed the settlement's changes inadequate.
This lawsuit, ongoing since 2005, challenges Visa and MasterCard's control over interchange
fees, which totaled $72 billion in 2023.
Critics argue the settlement fails to address core issues like price fixing.
If rejected, Visa and MasterCard may face trial or negotiate a more favorable deal for
merchants.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is
$148.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
A new study describes Veronius Manfred Smitty, a potential new species of great ape that
lived 12 million years ago during the Miocene Epoch.
Weighing only 22 pounds, the ape would be the smallest known hominid.
This discovery marks the first evidence of two great apes coexisting in Europe, this
one being a tree-dwelling leaf eater and inuvius guggenmosi, an omnivore.
Identified from two teeth and a kneecap, this finding could reshape our understanding of
human evolution and great ape diversity.
And in entertainment news.
Andrew McCarthy's new documentary, Bratz, explores the lives of 80s actors known as
the Brat Pack, including Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Rob Lowe.
These films, like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, defined a pivotal era for many, including
the author.
The documentary revisits these stars, reflecting on the passage of time, fate, and the lasting
impact of labels.
McCarthy's work, now on Hulu, dives deep into the cultural significance and personal
memories tied to these iconic films.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American cartoonist and creator of Calvin and Hobbes,
Dil Waterson.
And he said,
Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
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 weekend, my good friends.
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
