Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, July 24th.
You'll be interested to know.
One hundred and twenty-seven years ago, today in 1897, Amelia Earhart, one of the world's
most celebrated aviators and the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, was
born in Atchison, Kansas.
This trailblazing aviator became a symbol of courage and determination, inspiring countless
individuals to pursue their dreams in the field of aviation and beyond.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect waist-high sets Wednesday with semi-glassy conditions and light offshore winds early,
turning semi-choppy in the afternoon with 10 to 15 mile-per-hour winds.
Thursday and Friday will have waist-high waves, similar semi-glassy mornings and semi-choppy
afternoons with 5 to 10 mile-per-hour winds.
This weekend, expect knee-to-waist-high waves with semi-bumpy conditions and stronger onshore
winds up to 15 miles per hour.
Wednesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking fair until 10 a.m. at 3 plus feet.
After that, it will be pretty choppy until sunset.
But it might smooth out a bit as the sun goes down.
Last time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a zero-foot outgoing tide when the northwest swell is
1 and a half feet at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is 5 mile-per-hour.
The first low tide Wednesday will be minus one foot at 615 a.m. with a five-foot high
tide at 1245 p.m.
The nearshore gooey at Scripps in La Jolla reads 72 degrees for the water temperature.
This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 70 degrees with 2 mile-per-hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 752 and it will rise again tomorrow at 558.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m.
Otherwise, partly sunny with a high near 72 and wind of 5 to 10 mile-per-hour.
Tonight it'll be mostly cloudy with a low around 69.
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning through Sunday clearing by
late morning.
Daytime highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s with partly sunny skies.
Nights will be mostly cloudy with lows in the mid to upper 60.

Sunny mornings send you.
In local news, downtown San Diego is awash with building raps promoting TV shows and
video games ahead of San Diego Comic-Con starting Wednesday night.
Our 30 buildings now feature raps for series like Lord of the Rings and The Walking Dead.
Despite being mostly illegal, building owners opt for these raps due to the revenue outweighing
potential fines.
Fines can reach up to $10,000 per day, though such high penalties are rare.
KAP Media Group, responsible for many raps, has grown its business significantly since
2012.
These advertisements transform downtown, delighting Comic-Con attendees but irritating some local
groups.
Now on to sports.
The Rose Bowl has requested to be left out of the college football playoff semifinal
so it can continue its annual game on January 1.
Rose Bowl management chair, Laura Farber, confirms this to The Athletic on Tuesday.
The college football playoff is moving to a 12-team format with quarterfinals on December
31 and January 1 and semifinals on January 8 and 9.
The Rose Bowl, already losing its traditional Big Ten vs. Packed 12 matchup, prefers to
host a quarterfinal every year to maintain its traditional date.
Farber stated the Bowl would be flexible about maintaining its traditional 2pm kickoff time.
While the new agreement with ESPN begins in 2026, the Bowl rotation has not been finalized.
In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Nationals 4-0.
And tonight, the Padres remain on the road in Washington.
In top news, in the United States, fluoride toothpaste has long been the standard for
cavity prevention.
However, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, popular in Europe and Japan, offers a fluoride-free
alternative.
Composed of calcium and phosphate, hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral in our bones and teeth.
NASA researchers patented a hydroxyapatite precursor in the 1970s, and it has been approved
for cavity prevention in Japan since 1993.
Despite its benefits, including reduced tooth sensitivity and bacterial adhesion, hydroxyapatite
toothpaste faces marketing challenges in the U.S. due to FDA approval requirements.
Some experts now recommend it for young children, as it avoids fluoride's potential risks.
In business news, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has sold about 34 million shares
of Bank of America, worth $1.5 billion.
Despite this, Berkshire remains the bank's largest shareholder.
This sale could signify profit-taking, as Bank of America's stock has surged 27% this
year.
Alternatively, Buffett may be planning to reduce Berkshire's stake below 10% to avoid
reporting trades to the Securities and Exchange Commission within two business days.
Bank of America's recent second-quarter earnings report was positively received, with a promising
net interest income outlook, potentially boosting profitability in the second half of the year.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $65,900, Ethereum is just over $3,400, and
Solana is $173.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk tech.
Bigging edge technology could massively reduce the energy used for air conditioning.
Roughly 10% of the world's energy is used for cooling, much of it generated by fossil
fuels.
Montana Technologies discovered that air conditioning was causing power spikes in buses in Shanghai.
So they developed Airjoule, a dehumidifier using a special porous material that drastically
cuts energy consumption.
Airjoule can reduce dehumidification energy by up to 90%.
The firm aims to integrate this system with existing eight vac units.
Blue Frontier and Nostromo Energy are also innovating in this space, each offering unique
solutions to improve cooling efficiency.
And in entertainment news, Celine Dion is reportedly preparing to perform at the 2024
Summer Olympics.
The Olympics, known for highlighting the world's greatest athletes, are also featuring entertainers.
Recent promotional segments have included Cardi B, Sha'Carri Richardson, and Snoop
Dogg.
According to Variety, Celine Dion is in talks to perform at the opening ceremony.
Diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in December 2022, she had to cancel her tour plans, but
she has kept the public updated on her health.
Celine was recently spotted in Paris, fueling performance rumors.
None of the involved parties have confirmed the speculations.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American aviator, Amelia Earhart.
And she said,
The most difficult thing is the decision to act.
The rest is merely tenacity.
The fears are paper tigers.
You can do anything you decide to do.
We can act to change and control your life.
And the procedure, the process, is its own reward.
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.
