Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Tuesday, August 6th.
You'll be interested to know.
Fifty-nine years ago, today, in 1965, United States President Lyndon B. Johnson signed
the Voting Rights Act, which sought to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels
that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote.
The legislation was weakened through several lawsuits in the 21st century.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect knee-to-thigh-high southwest ground swells on Tuesday and Wednesday, dropping
to knee-high by Thursday, but increasing to waist-high by Friday.
Mornings will start semi-glassy with offshore winds less than 5 miles per hour shifting
to onshore in the afternoons at speeds of 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Conditions on Thursday afternoon make it a bit bumpy, while Fridays should see occasional
stomach high sets.
Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking fair at 2 plus feet most of
the day with a choppy patch from 2 to 6.
It should be fair conditions for today's sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a one-foot incoming low tide when the south swell is
one and a half feet at 13 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 miles per hour.
The first low tide Tuesday will be zero foot at 515 now, with a five-foot high tide just
after 1130.

Now on to sports.
American Prodigy.
Caroline Marks clinched Olympic surfing gold in Tahiti on Monday, narrowly defeating Brazil's
Tatiana Weston Webb, with a score of 10.5 to 10.3.
Riding on historic waves, Marks became the second American women's surfing gold medalist,
joining Carissa Moore.
The match began as a cat and mouse game, but Marks' perfect 7.5 wave at the 15-minute
mark secured her lead.
Despite Weston Webb's efforts, her final wave earned only 4.5, confirming Marks' victory.
Marks, who started surfing at 7, can now add an Olympic gold medal to her impressive resume.
In local sports, tonight, the Padres are on the road in Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates.
In top news, too much corn can be detrimental to health, especially given its omnipresence
in our diet.
The whole corn offers benefits like lowering risks of cancer, stroke, and heart disease,
its processed forms.
Corn oil, cornstarch, and high-fructose corn syrup pose significant health threats.
High-fructose corn syrup, in particular, is linked to obesity, heart disease, and type
2 diabetes.
Experts, such as Walter Willett from Harvard, emphasize the dysfunctional food system centered
around corn.
Nutritionists like Jen Messer and physicians like Neha Pathak stress the importance of
understanding corn's impact and balancing its consumption.

Let's talk science.
Archaeologists have uncovered a horde of gold coins estimated to be 2,600 years old.
In the ancient Greek city of Notian, located in western Turkey.
This remarkable find, discovered by the Notian Archaeological Project in July 2023, has been
publicly announced by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The coins, which feature a kneeling archer, are identified as Persian derricks, likely
minted in Sardis.
According to University of Michigan archaeologist Christopher Rade, this discovery is rare and
offers significant insights into the Persian derrick's history.
The coins are now under study at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum.
And in entertainment news.
Peter Sarsgaard will not return for presumed-innocent Season 2, as he considers himself a one-season
person.
The Gappel TV Plus legal thriller has been renewed, but it's unclear which cast members
might return.
Based on Scott Turo's novel, the series stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Savich, a prosecutor
on trial after his mistress is murdered.
Sarsgaard plays rival prosecutor Tommy Molto.
Originally an 8-episode limited series, it resolved Rusty's case by Season 1's end.
The show might transition to an anthology format for Season 2.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
