Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Friday, July 19th.
You'll be interested to know.
176 years ago, today in 1848, the women's suffrage movement began in the United States.
In the 1820s and 1830s, women became active in various reform groups.
They challenged the cult of true womanhood, which confined women to domestic roles.
This led to the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where activists like Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Lucretia Mott advocated for women's rights, including the right to vote.
The struggle continued through the 19th century, culminating in the ratification of the 19th
Amendment on August 18, 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect waist-high, ground swell Friday and Saturday with occasional chest high sets.
Sunday brings waist-high, medium-period swell, shifting from west-southwest to west.
Weather light in the mornings becoming onshore at 5 to 15 miles per hour in the afternoons,
creating semi-choppy conditions.
Friday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking clean to fare in the morning until 10, at 2 to 4 feet.
After that, it's looking pretty choppy.
But conditions should smooth out a bit for a decent sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming tide when the northwest swell is
2.5 feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 miles per hour.
The first high tide Friday will be 4 foot at 9.45 a.m. with a 3-foot low tide at 1.45 p.m.
The nearshore buoy at Spritz in La Jolla reads 72 degrees for the water temperature.
This morning it's foggy and feels like 67 degrees with 2 mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.55 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.55.
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 72 and wind of 5 to 10
mile per hour.
Tonight, it'll be mostly cloudy with a low around 68.
Looking ahead in the weather.
Saturday will be partly sunny with a high near 72 after morning fog clears.
Expect morning fog each day through Wednesday with partly sunny skies and highs in the low
70s.

Let's talk science.
NASA has canceled plans to launch the Viper moon rover due to supply chain and budget
restraints.
The Viper rover was part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload program.
This small rover was designed to search for water in the moon's polar regions.
Nikola Fox, NASA's missions administrator, emphasized that the mission team's diligent
work through the pandemic was not in question.
Due to delays, the launch would have been pushed to September 2025, increasing costs
and affecting other missions.
However, three of Viper's instruments will still reach the moon on other missions.
And in entertainment news…

Tillman in Fargo.
This marked his 17th and 18th Emmy nominations, previously winning for Mad Men in 2015.
Hamm believes these nominations feel different in today's peak TV landscape.
Currently filming Your Friends and Neighbors, Hamm is thrilled and ready to enjoy the accolades.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American writer and activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
And she said,
We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided
by their ruling powers.
White labor and the free black men had their champions, but where are ours?
Right here, Elizabeth.
Right here.
I'll be your huckleberry.
