1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday April 8th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,680 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:31,400 At first, you'll be interested to know, 50 years ago, today in 1974, American baseball 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,720 player Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth's record, which 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080 had stood since 1935. 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Aaron's record was then broken by Barry Bonds in 2007. 10 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,640 So now you know. 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480 And now you know what time it is. 12 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,560 It's time for the surf report. 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,320 Expect surf in the thigh to waist-high range early Monday, building slightly with a north-northwest 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,420 wind rebuild. 15 00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:10,920 We should have clean conditions Tuesday, but smaller with a north-northwest and small south-southwest 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,760 swell mix. 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,480 Monday in Encinitas and North County. 18 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,800 It's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet until noon. 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,600 After that, it's looking pretty choppy. 20 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,000 Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a 3.5 foot incoming tide when the east-southeast 21 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,520 swell is 4.5 feet at 8 seconds and the offshore wind is 4 mile per hour. 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,720 The first high tide Monday will be 5 feet just before 9.30 a.m. with a 0 foot low tide 23 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,720 at 3.30. 24 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:54,880 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. 25 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 26 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:05,640 This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 48 degrees with 6 mile per hour wind. 27 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:12,340 The sunset will take place at 7.14 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.25. 28 00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:18,280 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 61 and wind of 5 to 10 29 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,120 mile per hour with gusts as high as 20. 30 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:31,360 Tonight mostly clear with a low around 52 and wind of 10 to 15 mile per hour. 31 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,640 Looking ahead in the weather. 32 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:40,760 Tuesday starts sunny and breezy with a high near 67 and northeast wind of 5 to 15 mile 33 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,520 per hour. 34 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:50,400 Wednesday and Thursday remain sunny with highs around 66 and calm wind with patchy fog overnight. 35 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,200 Friday sees partly sunny skies and cools down slightly to a high near 63. 36 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,680 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 37 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,680 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 38 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,800 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 39 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,560 for culinary delights. 40 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 41 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,840 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 42 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,880 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 43 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,320 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 44 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Any morning sends you. 45 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,000 In local news, this week Oceanside will start testing for its beach replenishment project, 46 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,200 aiming to combat erosion by finding suitable sand offshore. 47 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,100 Core samples from 30 sites will be analyzed for potential dredging. 48 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:57,840 The initiative follows a study recommending sand sourcing to protect the beaches. 49 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Despite concerns over regional sand distribution, the city pursued innovative solutions, leading 50 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,240 to the selection of the Living Speed Bumps Plan from International Coastal Management. 51 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:16,500 This plan involves constructing headlands and an artificial reef to slow erosion, supplemented 52 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,440 by high-quality sand dredging. 53 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,540 Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, Oceanside seeks to prepare the project by 2026 for further 54 00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:36,280 grant opportunities, despite facing significant construction costs. 55 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,440 Now on to sports. 56 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,440 In our March Madness update, the NCAA Men's National Championship game is set to be a 57 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,080 clash of titans, with number one Seeds Purdue and Yukon facing off. 58 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,240 Yukon enters as 6-point favorites. 59 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:01,020 Purdue reaches its first championship game since 1969, after defeating NC State while 60 00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:05,360 Yukon overcame Alabama to vie for the title. 61 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,460 The game's pivotal figure is Purdue's, Sak Ede, whose performance could significantly 62 00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:14,160 influence the outcome. 63 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,280 On Yukon's side, Donovan Klingon's defense against Ede will be critical. 64 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:25,640 Both teams have showcased strong offensive capabilities throughout the season. 65 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:32,680 And the game is predicted to be a high-scoring affair, with Yukon narrowly edging out Purdue. 66 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Giants 3-2. 67 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:48,660 And in the NBA, the Lakers at home lost to the Timberwolves 1-27-117. 68 00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:54,280 And the Clivers on the road beat the Cavs 1-20-1-18. 69 00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:00,960 Tonight the Padres return home to take on the Cubs. 70 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,520 In top news, in honor of Monday morning, let's debunk some coffee myths, because it's not 71 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,760 the villain it's often made out to be. 72 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,560 Contrary to common beliefs, caffeine addiction poses minimal health and social risks, making 73 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,160 the term the addiction perhaps too severe for coffee enthusiasts. 74 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,560 Coffee isn't dehydrating as previously thought. 75 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,600 Moderate consumption balances out its diuretic effects. 76 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,720 It won't sober you up if you're drunk, though, nor does darker roast mean more caffeine. 77 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Actually, lighter roasts might have slightly more, due to bean density changes during roasting. 78 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,480 Most compellingly, coffee isn't harmful in moderation. 79 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,520 In fact, it's associated with reduced risks of several diseases, making it a beneficial 80 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,880 part of many diets, provided intake is moderate and mindful of added sugars. 81 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,520 In business news, Bitcoin's forth-having is imminent, set to reduce the mining reward 82 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:17,040 from 6.25 to 3.125 bitcoins, slashing the inflation rate from 1.8% to just under 1%. 83 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,640 This halving impacts the supply-demand balance, potentially influencing Bitcoin's market 84 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,240 value. 85 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,520 The process integral to Bitcoin's design ensures a predictable, fixed supply, contrasting 86 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,320 with national currencies controlled by political forces. 87 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:41,000 While it may pressure miners, especially smaller ones, by reducing revenue, it also offers 88 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,320 an opportunity for efficiency improvements and market share gains among those prepared 89 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,400 with newer machinery. 90 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,620 Historically, halvings have been followed by price increases, though predicting short-term 91 00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:57,020 movements remain speculative. 92 00:07:57,020 --> 00:08:02,260 With growing institutional adoption and an increase in non-trading Bitcoin, the market 93 00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:04,840 dynamics are evolving. 94 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:14,600 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just over $69,000, Ethereum is at $3,400, and Solana 95 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,640 is $177. 96 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000 Moving on to a more local vibe. 97 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,960 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 98 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,120 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 99 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,200 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 100 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,320 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 101 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,280 and elevating mental well-being. 102 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,120 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 103 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,440 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 104 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,680 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 105 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,840 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 106 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,520 And now back to the show. 107 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,120 Let's talk science. 108 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:19,840 Avnos, a Los Angeles-based startup, is pioneering a new technology in Bakersfield, California 109 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,400 that could revolutionize environmental efforts by extracting carbon dioxide and water from 110 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,400 the air. 111 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,120 This hybrid direct-air capture system not only aims to reduce atmospheric CO2, but also 112 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,200 produces water, offering a solution to drought conditions. 113 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,820 Funded by both the Department of Energy and private investments, Avnos's innovation seeks 114 00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:48,840 to lower the energy requirements of carbon capture while creating a sustainable water 115 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,680 source. 116 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:56,720 As the climate crisis intensifies, technologies like Avnos's offer a glimpse into the potential 117 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,480 for significant impact through carbon capture and water production, addressing two critical 118 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280 environmental challenges simultaneously. 119 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:15,720 And in entertainment news, Danny McBride, known for his role as Red in Pen Apple Express, 120 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:22,160 noted his enthusiasm for a sequel during GQ's most iconic characters series. 121 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Despite the original becoming a cult classic, McBride mentioned that the possibility of 122 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,320 a sequel feels unlikely due to timing. 123 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:38,000 The film, which premiered in 2008, was a hit, grossing over $100 million. 124 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,120 However, Seth Rogen revealed that a sequel pitch was rejected by Sony, possibly due to 125 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,280 budget concerns. 126 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:52,680 Rogen speculated they might have requested too much money for Sony's comfort. 127 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:57,520 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 128 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,400 And today, our quote comes from Hank Aaron. 129 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,120 And hammerin' Hank said, 130 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,880 My motto was always to keep swinging. 131 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Whether I was in a slump, or feeling badly, or having trouble off the field, the only 132 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,880 thing to do was keep swinging. 133 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,160 Wise words, hammer. 134 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,840 Wise words. 135 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,360 And that's a wrap for this morning. 136 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:29,280 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 137 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,880 with local news and the surf reports. 138 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,720 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 139 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:46,360 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
