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 Friday, April 26.

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 --> 00:00:23,840
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
But first, you'll be interested to know.

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Today is Arbor Day.

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,200
It originated in the 1870s in Nebraska City.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Julius Sterling Morton, a journalist and later the editor of Nebraska City News, used his

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,840
platform to advocate for the ecological importance of trees in a region that lacked forestation.

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:54,100
His efforts culminated in the establishment of Arbor Day on April 10, 1872, when Nebraskans

12
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,700
planted around one million trees.

13
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:03,880
This tradition quickly spread across the United States and by 1885, Arbor Day was a state

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,460
holiday in Nebraska.

15
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:12,680
The day is now nationally recognized and celebrated by planting trees and promoting environmental

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,320
stewardship.

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,200
So now you know.

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
And now you know what time it is.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,120
It's time for the surf report.

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Expect a playful mix of swells on Friday, with leftover south, southwest swell, and

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,600
northwest windswell in the thigh-to-chest-high range at most spots.

22
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:40,680
Wind is favorable early, shifting to breezy west-northwest flow in the afternoon.

23
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,320
A spike of northwest windswell arrives for the weekend, with waste-to-head high surf

24
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,400
Saturday and smaller leftovers Sunday.

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,720
Friday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking like poor surfing conditions just

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,600
about all day, with a couple patches of fair conditions at 3 feet, then topping out at

27
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,560
3 to 5 feet and choppy.

28
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m., with a half-foot incoming tide, when the south swell is 4 feet

29
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,040
at 7 seconds and the onshore wind is 6 mile per hour.

30
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:23,360
The first high tide Friday will be 3 feet at noon, with a 2-foot low tide at 4 p.m.

31
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,160
The near shore gooey at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.

32
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area.

33
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,880
This morning it's cloudy and feels like 56 degrees, with 6 mile per hour wind.

34
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:48,520
The sunset will take place at 727, and it will rise again tomorrow at 604.

35
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:54,000
It looks like we're in for a chance of rain before 11 a.m., and it will be cloudy with

36
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,320
a high near 61 and wind of 10 to 15 mile per hour.

37
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,360
Chance of precipitation is 30 percent, with new rain amounts of less than a tenth of an

38
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440
inch tonight.

39
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,720
A slight chance of rain before 11 p.m., with a low around 58 and more wind.

40
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.

41
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840
Looking ahead in the weather.

42
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,320
This weekend will be mostly sunny, with highs in the low to mid 60s.

43
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Patchy fog is possible Saturday and Sunday nights, as well as Monday morning and Tuesday

44
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,600
morning.

45
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,360
Monday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 64.

46
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Tuesday will start with patchy fog, then turn mostly sunny, with a high near 64.

47
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

48
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,680
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

49
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

50
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
for culinary delights.

51
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

52
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,240
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

53
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,240
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

54
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,680
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

55
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Sunny mornings send you.

56
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,200
In local news, firefighters responded to a significant fire at a vacant restaurant at

57
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,800
the end of the Oceanside Pier in California.

58
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,520
The fire, reported just after 3 p.m., occurred in the building that once housed Ruby's

59
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Diner.

60
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,720
Authorities deployed multiple firefighting resources, including helicopters from CALFIRE

61
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:52,080
and SDG&E, which assisted in dousing the flames with water from above.

62
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,360
As of 4.30, the situation was improving, though visibility was hindered by thick smoke.

63
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,840
Fortunately, no injuries were reported and all nearby workers, including those from the

64
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,960
adjacent Brinebox Fish Jack, were accounted for and safe.

65
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:17,360
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

66
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Now on to sports.

67
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Day 1 of the NFL Draft is complete.

68
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,920
And here are the first four picks.

69
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:32,720
At number 1, the Chicago Bears selected quarterback Caleb Williams from USC.

70
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,920
At number 2, the Washington Commanders selected quarterback Jaden Daniels from LSU.

71
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:46,840
At number 3, the New England Patriots selected quarterback Drake May from North Carolina.

72
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:53,320
And at number 4, the Arizona Cardinals selected wide receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr. from Ohio

73
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080
State.

74
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Rockies 10-9.

75
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,880
And in game 3, the Lakers at home took another loss to the Nuggets 1-12 to 1-05.

76
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,000
They now trail three games to none.

77
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,480
Tonight, the Padres are at home to take on the Phillies.

78
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,920
And the Clippers are on the road in Dallas to take on the Mavericks for game 3.

79
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:31,480
And in the NHL playoffs, the Kings are at home for game 3 to skate with the Oilers.

80
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:38,080
In top news, Southwest Airlines is facing significant operational challenges, including

81
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,720
financial underperformance and delays in Boeing aircraft deliveries, leading to strategic

82
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,360
changes.

83
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,960
The airline plans to exit four airports, including Kuzuma International, Bellingham, Syracuse,

84
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,880
and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental.

85
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:03,400
This decision follows a quarterly loss of $231 million and an adjusted loss slightly

86
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,180
worse than anticipated.

87
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:11,200
These moods are part of a broader strategy to adjust growth and network plans, moderate

88
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,160
hiring, and potentially reevaluate seating configurations to better align with customer

89
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,120
preferences and financial targets.

90
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,920
In business news, Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, saw its stock surge by

91
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:35,440
12% in after-hours trading, propelled by outstanding financial results and significant strategic

92
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,040
announcements.

93
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:43,800
The company declared its first-ever cash dividend of 20 cents per share and authorized a $70

94
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,580
billion stock buyback.

95
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:52,000
These moods come as Alphabet reported a significant increase in first-quarter revenue, which soared

96
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,320
to over $80 billion, a 15% increase from the previous year.

97
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Net income also impressively rose to nearly $24 billion.

98
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,600
This financial performance was driven by robust sales and advertising across Search, YouTube,

99
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,960
and cloud services, beating analyst expectations.

100
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,280
The company's market capitalization also increased, indicating strong investor confidence

101
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,280
in its ongoing growth and innovation, especially in AI technology.

102
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,840
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,000.

103
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Ethereum is $3,100.

104
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,760
And Solana is $142.

105
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,240
Not much movement yesterday.

106
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,640
Moving on to a more local vibe.

107
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:51,580
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

108
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:55,760
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

109
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,840
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

110
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,960
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

111
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,440
and elevating mental well-being.

112
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Public research affirms its benefits.

113
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,080
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

114
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,320
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

115
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,440
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

116
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,120
And now back to the show.

117
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Let's talk science.

118
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Archaeologists in France have unearthed a remarkable ancient site, containing three interlocking

119
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,520
enclosures from different time periods, ranging from the Neolithic era to the First Iron Age.

120
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,700
This unique formation, including a circular center enclosure and adjacent horseshoe-shaped

121
00:09:53,700 --> 00:10:01,960
and open circular designs, suggests complex usage and significant historical interconnections.

122
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Finding artifacts found at the site, such as flint arrowheads, a copper alloy dagger,

123
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,760
and an armband possibly used for lighting fires, indicate rich cultural and commercial

124
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,600
activities.

125
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,000
This unprecedented discovery could provide new insights into ancient societal structures

126
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,520
and burial practices once further analysis is completed.

127
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:34,640
And in entertainment news, the new Apple TV Plus docu-series, Hollywood Con Queen, delves

128
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,640
into a notorious scam that tricked numerous film industry hopefuls.

129
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,960
The series, set to premiere on May 8, explores the story of an impersonator known as the

130
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:52,320
Con Queen, who lured victims to Indonesia with promises of career opportunities, only

131
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,960
to lead them into financial and psychological ruin.

132
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,840
The scam attracted significant media attention, prompting investigations by journalist Spot

133
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,600
Johnson and private investigator Nichol Kotziannis.

134
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,360
This three-part series is directed by Chris Smith, known for his work on Tiger King.

135
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

136
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,800
And today, our quote comes from an unknown source, but we can all appreciate it, I'm

137
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,800
sure.

138
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,880
Better days are coming.

139
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,800
And they're called Saturday and Sunday.

140
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,400
And that's a wrap for this morning.

141
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:40,440
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

142
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,080
with local news and the surf reports.

143
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.

144
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,680
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
