Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, June 11th.
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 42 years ago, today in 1982.
Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial premiered in theaters to much critical acclaim.
The film became the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Star Wars, and held
this record until 1993, when Spielberg's own Jurassic Park surpassed it.
E.T. is considered one of the greatest films ever made.
It received nine Academy Award nominations, winning four including Best Original Score
and Best Visual Effects.
The film was re-released in 1985-2002.
In 1994, it was added to the U.S. National Film Registry.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect a playful mix of swells on Tuesday, with average breaks offering waist-to-chest-high
waves and South County standouts pushing upwards of head-high.
Light and variable wind is expected in the mornings, with onshore wind trending up later
in the day.
Tuesday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking fair in the morning, at 3 to 4 feet before 9 a.m.
And the afternoon will be choppy, but we might get a rideable sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a one-foot outgoing tide, when the west swell is 2 and

In local news, the 2024 San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds kicks off tomorrow,
running from June 12th to July 7th with a let's go retro theme.
The fair features carnival rides, concerts, exhibits, and unique foods like disco pop
shake and spam fries.

Special events include an Asian and Pacific Islander festival, Gospel Day, and a Native
American powwow.

Now on to sports.
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are finding their rhythm after a tough start to the season.
In a recent game against the Washington Mystics, Clark dazzled with five consecutive three-pointers,
finishing with 30 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four steals.
Despite early struggles and intense media scrutiny, the Fever are learning to navigate
the pressures and improve their game play.
As Clark continues to shine, Indiana hopes this marks a turning point for a more successful
season.
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Athletics 6-1, and tonight they're
back at it for game two of the three-game series.
In top news, Dr. Paul Tierstein of Scripps Clinic is the first in Southern California
to use a drug-coated balloon to clear a clogged stent in a heart vessel.
The procedure performed at Scripps Memorial Hospital utilizes the Agent drug-coated balloon
from Boston Scientific, which was recently approved by the FDA.
This innovative treatment targets instent restinosis, offering a new option that reduces
the need for repeat procedures and subsequent heart attacks by 50 percent, significantly
benefiting patients with recurrent coronary artery disease.
In business news, risky startups like Aptera Motors and Boxable are leveraging crowdfunding
and digital marketing to raise millions from novice investors.
Aptera, promising solar cars, and Boxable, touting tiny houses, have raised $170 million
collectively.
However, both have struggled with production and transparency.
The SEC's regulation exemption, designed to help smaller companies, has enabled these
startups to attract significant funding despite limited oversight, leading to potential risks
for inexperienced investors who often receive less transparency and fewer rights compared
to professional financiers.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000.
Ethereum is $3,500.
And Solana is $154.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by.
And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Supercapacitors, which combine battery design with capacitor physics, could soon surpass
batteries in power efficiency.
Unlike batteries, which deteriorate over time due to chemical reactions, supercapacitors
store energy on the surface, preventing wear.
New research by Ankur Gupta from the University of Colorado Boulder introduces a model to
study supercapacitors more effectively, simulating thousands of charge storing pores quickly.
This advancement aims to enhance supercapacitor design, potentially revolutionizing energy
storage with faster, more efficient energy release, ultimately improving the performance
of devices from mobile phones to electric cars.
And in entertainment news, Ryan Steele, Young Thug's lead attorney, was held in contempt
and taken into custody after accusing Judge Ural Glanville and prosecutors of an improper
meeting with a key witness.
Steele claimed the meeting with witness Kenneth Copeland involved coercion.
The judge demanded Steele reveal his source for this information and, upon refusal, sentenced
him to 20 days in jail to be served on weekends.
The trial, already the longest in Georgia history, continues amidst these dramatic legal
disputes.
Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the award-winning director of ET, Steven Spielberg.
And he said,
Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first-level alert to think about
things to come.
It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching
to them.
Every science fiction movie I've ever seen, anyone that's worth its weight in celluloid,
warns us about things that ultimately come true.
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 day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
