Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, June 7th.
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.
At first, you'll be interested to know 95 years ago, today, in 1929.
Through the Galadarine Treaty, signed by Benito Mussolini, for Italy and by Pietro Gasparri,
Cardinal Secretary of State, for the Papacy, Vatican City became a sovereign state.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect playful swells through Friday and Saturday, with waist to chest high waves and larger
at standout spots.
We'll have variable late-wind early, trending south and manageable afternoon conditions
with light crumble, Friday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking clean to fare throughout the day at 2 to 4 feet.
Sunny warning and sunset is your best bet for good waves.
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a minus a half foot incoming tide, when the southwest
swell is 2 and a half feet at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 2 mile per hour.
The first low tide Friday will be minus 2 foot just after 5, with a 3 and a half foot
high tide at 1230.
The near shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 65 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's cloudy and feels
like 62 degrees with 3 mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 755 and it will rise again tomorrow at 540.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. Otherwise cloudy, then gradually
becoming mostly sunny with a high near 66 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour.
Tonight it'll be mostly cloudy with a low around 63.
Looking ahead in the weather, Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 66 and west
wind 5 to 10 mile per hour after morning fog clears.

In local news, the historic Old Point Loma Lighthouse at Cabrillo National Monument will
close through August for restoration.
The National Park Service will remove failing paint, repair masonry and metal features and
install new window sashes.
Built in 1855, this lighthouse offers a glimpse into the life of a lighthouse keeper.
Superintendent Chris Rodriguez emphasized the restoration's goal to preserve this San Diego
Maritime symbol, funded by entrance fees.
Cabrillo National Monument remains open, with access to the Whale Overlook and Oceanside
Trail via an alternate path.
Now on to sports.
The Boston Celtics dominated Game 1 of the NBA Finals, defeating the Dallas Mavericks
107-89.
Jalen Brown led with 22 points, while Chris Stubbs-Porzingis shined in his return with
20.
Luca Donsic scored 30 points for Dallas, but their offense struggled.
Coach Joe Mazzulla praised the Celtics' defensive execution.
Boston's strong three-point shooting and balanced attack, including contributions from
Jason Tatum and Drew Holliday, secured the win.
Game 2 is set for Sunday at TD Garden.
Didn't hear much from Kyrie Irving.
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Diamondbacks 4-3.
And tonight, they play Game 2 of the 4-game series.
In top news, Joel Kamakani-Lyved, a Spam superfan, faced a TSA checkpoint challenge after packing
15 pounds of Spam in his carrion.
The TSA agent flagged his bag, requiring additional screening, but allowed it through after confirming
the special flavors.
Lyved, who cherishes Spam from his Hawaiian childhood, often carries it home.
TSA permits unlimited solid food and carry-ons, prompting Lyved to say, challenge accepted.
His TikTok video about the incident went viral, showing his dedication to the canned meat.
Spam's brand team later sent him additional varieties to complete his collection.
In business news, Dave and Busters is transforming its arcades into casinos through a partnership
with Lucra Sports.
Patrons will be able to place real-money bets on arcade games via an app-based loyalty program.
This move aims to integrate gambling into everyday activities, blending skill-based
gaming with traditional betting.
Despite potential regulatory hurdles, this strategy mirrors how DraftKings and FanDuel
popularized sports betting.
While it may attract customers, there are concerns it could harm the chain's family-friendly
image, much like other casinos.
This reflects a broader trend of entertainment industries integrating gambling to stay competitive.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $71,000.
Ethereum is nearing $3,800.
And Solana is $172.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Recent research reveals fascinating insights into animal intelligence and behavior.
Crows can count, matching the numeracy skills of young children.
Other studies highlight advanced behaviors in animals like rats, gorillas, dolphins,
and elephants.
Notably, finches have a pre-verbal stage similar to human babbling, and a wild orangutan used
medicinal plants for a wound.
Dogs show problem-solving skills comparable to human ADHD traits, and some birds and mammals
display complex co-parenting behaviors.
These findings enhance our understanding of animal cognition and its parallels to human
behavior.
Entertainment News
The ongoing fallout from the actor's strike has left the box office struggling, with domestic
theatrical revenue down 24% compared to last year, and 42% behind 2019.
With fewer tent-hole releases, the movie industry faces an uncertain future.
Major releases like Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, and Deadpool and Wolverine aim to revive
the box office in 2024.
However, the return to a full slate of blockbuster films is expected only in 2025, leaving the
industry to navigate a fragile period of recovery.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the current head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis.
He said,
And must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them.
That would be enough to make the world a better place.
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.
Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
