Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, June 4th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 105 years ago, today, in 1919.
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote, was passed
by the Senate, two weeks after being approved by the House of Representatives.
The amendment was ratified the following year.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect playful phi-to-waist high waves, with occasional chest high sets through midweek.
New South Southwest swell builds by Tuesday.
Light onshore wind in the mornings with manageable afternoons.
Tuesday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking rough out there Tuesday at 3 plus feet and choppy most of the day.
You'll be able to sneak one in for dawn patrol or a sunset session when the wind will be
at its lowest for the day.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming tide when the south swell is 1 and
a half feet at 17 seconds and the onshore wind is 6 mile per hour.
The first high tide Tuesday will be 4 foot just after 9, with a 1 and a half foot low

In local news, experts are investigating a rare shark bite incident off Del Mar.
A 46-year-old swimmer was bitten on the torso, left arm and hand about 100 yards from shore.
The beach remains closed, marked with a shark incident notice.
Despite the frequent presence of sharks near swimmers, only 20 unprovoked bites have occurred
in San Diego County over 98 years.
Professor Chris Lowe's team is analyzing water samples and the swimmer's wetsuit to
identify the shark species.
Lowe suggests the attack might be due to a new shark in the area.
Now on to sports.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson's four-year, $140 million extension, averaging
$35 million per year, sets a new pay scale for non-quarterbacks.
This deal, equating to quarterback-level money, places Jefferson among the highest-paid players
in the NFL, just behind Aaron Rodgers and ahead of Baker Mayfield.
This contract will likely influence future deals for top wideouts like Jamar Chase and
C.D.
Lamb, pushing more elite receivers into the $25-30 million range annually.
Jefferson's contract also underscores the importance of balancing high salaries within
the team's overall salary cap.
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Angels 2-1.
And tonight, they're back at it for Game 2 of the 3-game series.
In top news, drinking alcohol before napping on a plane can harm your health, both short-term
and long-term, due to the lower air pressure and oxygen levels in airplane cabins.
A study found that alcohol, combined with these conditions, lowers oxygen saturation
and increases heart rate.
Moreover, alcohol impairs sleep quality by reducing REM sleep and causing fragmented
rest.
Experts recommend avoiding alcohol, staying hydrated, choosing flights that align with
your natural sleep patterns, eating light and healthy foods, exercising and minimizing
screen use to improve in-flight sleep.
In business news, the U.S. banking system faces a potential crisis as $929 billion in
commercial real estate debt comes due in 2024.
The Fed's high interest rates may cause bank failures and real estate defaults.
Recent collapses, like Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank, highlight vulnerabilities.
Regional banks, holding nearly 70% of commercial real estate loans, face severe strain.
Rising interest rates and changes in office space demand exacerbate this perfect storm.
Over the next three years, over $2 trillion in commercial real estate loan payments are
due, which is adding pressure.
While the Federal Reserve's stress tests offer some protection, the sheer volume of
maturing loans and high rates creates a challenging environment for smaller banks.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $68,000.
Ethereum is nearing $3,800.
And Solana is $163.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Researchers have discovered why people spontaneously dance to music, finding that the impulse,
or groove experience, is linked to the music's syncopation.
Syncopation involves rhythmic patterns where beats appear unpredictably.
Cognitive neuroscientist Benjamin Morland's experiments showed that a medium degree of
syncopation most strongly triggers the desire to dance, as it allows the brain to predict
and follow the basic beat.
This groove experience arises in the dorsal auditory pathway, which connects the auditory
cortex with movement areas, integrating rhythm with motor impulses to create the urge to
move.
And in entertainment news, Daniel Craig returns as Detective Benoit Plank in the third installment
of Rian Johnson's Knives Out series.
The film titled Wake Up Dead Man is written and directed by Johnson and is set to release
globally on Netflix in 2025.
Following the success of the first two films, this sequel boasts an ensemble cast featuring
Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Josh Brolin, and Maylev Kunis.
While plot details remain secret, the story promises another intriguing murder mystery
with a colorful array of suspects.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the woman's rights activist, Susan B. Anthony.
She said,
Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women.
There is so much yet to be done.
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.
