Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Wednesday, July 24th.
You'll be interested to know.
One hundred and twenty-seven years ago, today in 1897,
Amelia Earhart, one of the world's most celebrated aviators,
and the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean,
was born in Atchison, Kansas.
This trailblazing aviator became a symbol of courage and determination,
inspiring countless individuals to pursue their dreams in the field of aviation and beyond.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect waist-high sets Wednesday with semi-glassy conditions
and light offshore winds early, turning semi-choppy in the afternoon,
with 10 to 15 mile-per-hour winds.
Thursday and Friday will have waist-high waves,
similar semi-glassy mornings and semi-choppy afternoons,
with 5 to 10 mile-per-hour winds.
This weekend, expect knee-to-waist-high waves,
with semi-bumpy conditions and stronger onshore,
winds up to 15 miles per hour.
Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.
It's looking fair until 9 a.m. at 3 plus feet.
After that, it will be pretty choppy until sunset,
but it might smooth out a bit as the sun goes down.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a zero-foot incoming tide,
when the north-northwest swell is 1.5 feet at 16 seconds
and the variable wind is 6 mile-per-hour.
The first low tide Wednesday will be minus 1 foot at 6.15 a.m.
with a 5-foot high tide at 12.45 p.m.
This morning, it's partly cloudy and feels like 74 degrees
with 3 mile-per-hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.52,
and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.58.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m.,
otherwise partly sunny with a high near 81
and wind of 5 to 10 mile-per-hour tonight.
Pilly partly cloudy with a low around 69.
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog
each morning through Sunday, clearing by late morning.
Highs will range from 74 to 81 with mostly sunny skies
and light west winds.
Nights will be cloudy with lows in the mid-60s
and fog returning late.

Sunny mornings send you.
In local news, downtown San Diego is awash with building raps
promoting TV shows and video games ahead of San Diego Comic
Con starting Wednesday night.
Over 30 buildings now feature raps for series
like Lord of the Rings and The Walking Dead.
Despite being mostly illegal, building owners
opt for these raps due to the revenue outweighing
potential fines.
Fines can reach up to $10,000 per day,
though such high penalties are rare.
KAP Media Group, responsible for many raps,
has grown its business significantly since 2012.
These advertisements transform downtown,
delighting Comic Con attendees, but irritating
some local groups.
Now on to sports.
The Rose Bowl has requested to be left out of the college
football playoff semifinal so it can continue its annual game
on January 1.
Rose Bowl management chair Laura Farber
confirms this to The Athletic on Tuesday.
The college football playoff is moving to a 12-team format
with quarterfinals on December 31 and January 1
and semifinals on January 8 and 9.
The Rose Bowl, already losing its traditional fake 10-verse
packed 12 matchup, prefers to host a quarterfinal every year
to maintain its traditional date.
Farber stated the Bowl would be flexible about maintaining
its traditional 2 PM kickoff time.
While the new agreement with ESPN begins in 2026,
the bowl rotation has not been finalized.
In local sports, the Padres on the road
beat the Nationals 4 to 0.
And tonight, the Padres remain on the road in Washington.
In top news, in the United States,
fluoride toothpaste has long been the standard
for cavity prevention.
However, hydroxyapatite toothpaste,
popular in Europe and Japan, offers a fluoride-free
alternative.
Composed of calcium and phosphate,
hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral in our bones and teeth.
NASA researchers patented a hydroxyapatite precursor
in the 1970s, and it has been approved for cavity prevention
in Japan since 1993.
Despite its benefits, including reduced tooth sensitivity
and bacterial adhesion, hydroxyapatite toothpaste
faces marketing challenges in the US
due to FDA approval requirements.
Some experts now recommend it for young children,
as it avoids fluoride's potential risks.
In business news, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway
has sold about 34 million shares of Bank of America,
worth $1.5 billion.
Despite this, Berkshire remains the bank's largest shareholder.
This sale could signify profit-taking,
as Bank of America's stock has surged 27% this year.
Alternatively, Buffett may be planning
to reduce Berkshire's stake below 10%
to avoid reporting trades to the Securities and Exchange
Commission within two business days.
Bank of America's recent second quarter earnings report
was positively received, with a promising net interest income
outlook, potentially boosting profitability
in the second half of the year.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $65,900.
Ethereum is just over $3,400.
And Solana is $173.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk tech.
Cutting-edge technology could massively
reduce the energy used for air conditioning.
Roughly 10% of the world's energy
is used for cooling, much of it generated by fossil fuels.
Montana Technologies discovered that air conditioning
was causing power spikes in buses in Shanghai.
So they developed Airjoule, a dehumidifier
using a special porous material that drastically
cuts energy consumption.
Airjoule can reduce dehumidification energy by up to 90%.
The firm aims to integrate this system with existing eight
vac units.
Blue Frontier and Nostromo Energy are also
innovating in this space, each offering unique solutions
to improve cooling efficiency.
And in entertainment news, Celine Dion
is reportedly preparing to perform at the 2024 Summer
Olympics.
The Olympics, known for highlighting the world's
greatest athletes, are also featuring entertainers.
Recent promotional segments have included Cardi B,
Sha'Carri Richardson, and Snoop Dogg.
According to Variety, Celine Dion
is in talks to perform at the opening ceremony.
Diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in December 2022,
she had to cancel her tour plans,
but she has kept the public updated on her health.
Celine was recently spotted in Paris,
fueling performance rumors.
None of the involved parties have confirmed the speculations.
Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American aviator,
Amelia Earhart.
And she said, the most difficult thing is the decision to act.
The rest is merely tenacity.
The fears are paper tigers.
You can do anything you decide to do.
You can act to change and control your life.
And the procedure, the process, is its own reward.
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.
