Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, October 10th. You'll be interested
to know. 159 years ago, today in 1845, the United
States Naval Academy was founded in Annapolis,
Maryland, marking a moment of human achievement
in education and leadership. A beacon of progress
and aspiration. So now you know. And now, it's
time for the surf report. Friday at Tourmaline.
This morning it's looking choppy with waves around
two feet. Conditions hold steady until late morning
when they drop to one plus feet. Winds are sideshore
at 11 miles per hour early, shifting onshore
by mid -morning and increasing slightly to 12
miles per hour by afternoon. Best time to ride
is at 8 a .m. with a four -foot incoming mid
-tide when the South Southwest swell is one feet
at 12 seconds and the sideshore wind is 11 mile
per hour. The first high tide on Friday will
be six and a half feet. just before 1130 a .m.,
followed by a half -foot low tide at 645. The
nearshore buoy at Mission Bay West reads 68 degrees
for the water temperature. Conditions remain
clean with waves at 2 to 3 feet on Saturday morning,
but expect choppy conditions as winds shift onshore
in the afternoon. Sunday brings a steady increase
in swell, reaching 3 to 5 feet with clean conditions
early on, making it the best surf day of the
period. Monday holds similar size but remains
choppy throughout, making for challenging paddling
conditions. This morning, it's partly sunny and
it feels like 67 degrees with 10 mile per hour
wind. The sunset will take place at 622. and
will rise again tomorrow at 652. It looks like
we're in for some partly sunny skies today, with
a high near 77 and a gentle northwest wind around

Looking ahead in the weather, Saturday will be
mostly sunny with highs near 73, and a west breeze
of 5 to 10 miles per hour, then partly cloudy
and around 60 Saturday night. Sunday stays mostly
sunny with highs near 74 and lows near 59, while

Sunny mornings send you. San Diego has finally
secured hundreds of millions of dollars for a
long -planned expansion of the San Diego Convention
Center after 20 years of challenges. However,
Mayor Todd Gloria announced that the expansion
will not happen just yet, as the focus will shift
to updating and modernizing the existing facility.
An estimated expansion would now cost $1 billion,
nearly double the previous estimate from 2017.
Before moving forward, the City must wait for
5th Avenue of LLC's lease to end and introduce
an ordinance outlining timelines for tax collection
related to Measure C. 59 % of the funds generated
from Measure C will be allocated to the Convention
Center for Fiscal Year 2026. Now on to sports.

Scott Besson confirmed. President Donald Trump
acted to support an ally in Latin America, despite
some dissatisfaction among his supporters. On
Thursday, the Trump administration finalized
a financial rescue, with Besant revealing he
directly purchased Argentine pesos in global
currency markets. This move aims to relieve pressure
on President Javier Millet, who has implemented
drastic economic reforms. Along with this intervention,
the United States has arranged a currency swap
of $20 billion with Argentina's central bank.
Economist Brad Setzer criticized the decision
to buy pesos, noting Argentina's history of debt
defaults. In business news, Elon Musk is quietly
expanding in the Bay Area again, starting with
his brain implant, Startup Neuralink. The company
has leased a vacant building in South San Francisco,

Ford's Boulevard had been vacant since 2023,
after Interven Biosciences pulled out of its
lease amid an industry downturn. Neuralink has

billion, the company began human trials last

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. OpenAI did not expect
Sora's copyright drama. When it released its
new AI -generated video app Sora, it included
an opt -out policy for copyright holders. However,
after a backlash over content, CEO Sam Altman
announced a policy reversal to allow rights holders
to decide how to proceed. Altman acknowledged
that responses to the app were unexpectedly nuanced.
with many wanting more control over their likenesses.
Concerns over misinformation from hyper -realistic
videos also surfaced, prompting discussions about
the app's watermark. Despite initial challenges,
Sora remains a top app on Apple's App Store,
indicating strong demand. Sam Rockwell portrays
a disheveled man from the future, sent back to
save humanity from an impending artificial intelligence
uprising. Dressed in a plastic raincoat and mismatched
shoes, he embodies the chaotic energy of a Terry
Gilliam character. His mission? To find unlikely
heroes among the late night crowd at a diner
in Los Angeles. This irreverent film combines
elements of time loops and video games with Rockwell's
character trying to break a cycle over numerous
attempts. It challenges perceptions of reality
while also critiquing our screen -obsessed society.
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
And he said... The only person you're destined
to become is the person you decide to be. And
that's a wrap for this morning. You can check

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.
