Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, July 26th.
You'll be interested to know.
Thirty-four years ago, today in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed
into law by President George W. Bush, providing civil rights protections to individuals with
physical and mental disabilities and guaranteeing them equal opportunity in public accommodations,
employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect thigh-to-waist-high waves Friday with semi-glassy conditions and light onshore winds
early, turning semi-choppy with 5 to 10 mile-per-hour winds later.
Saturday anticipate waist-high waves with glassy mornings and semi-bumpy afternoons
as variable winds shift.
Sunday morning will have knee-to-thigh-high waves with occasional waist-high sets, building
to waist to stomach-high by afternoon, with semi-glassy mornings turning semi-choppy as
onshore winds increase to 10 to 15 miles-per-hour.
For the beginning of the week, expect waist-to-chest-high waves Monday with semi-glassy conditions
in the morning and semi-choppy afternoons with onshore winds.
Friday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking clean to fare until 11 a.m. at 2 to 3 feet.
After then, it will be pretty choppy until 6, but it should smooth out to fare for your
Friday sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a one-foot low tide when the west-southwest swell is
one and a half feet at 13 seconds and the onshore wind is two mile-per-hour.
The first low tide Friday will be one foot at 7.30 a.m. with a five-foot high tide just
after 1 p.m. The nearshore gooey at Scripps in La Jolla reads 68 degrees for the water
temperature.
This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 70 degrees with two mile-per-hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.50 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.59.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m.
Otherwise, partly sunny with a high near 71 and wind of 5 to 10 mile-per-hour.
Tonight they'll be mostly cloudy with a low around 67.
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning Saturday through Wednesday,
gradually clearing by late morning.
Daytime highs will be in the upper 60s with light south winds turning west.
This will be mostly cloudy with lows in the mid 60s and fog returning late.

In local news, San Diego's troubled carrier, the USS Boxer, faces another long stay in
a repair yard.
The San Diego-based assault ship, which has spent more time in repairs than traveling
the open seas in recent years, will be sidelined again upon returning from deployment, the
Navy said.
The 843-foot aircraft carrier, currently en route to the Indo-Pacific, is scheduled to
enter an unnamed shipyard in April for repairs and upgrades, lasting 18 months.
Following a five-year service gap, the ship deployed on April 1st, but returned to San
Diego Bay 10 days later due to rudder issues.
Now on to sports.
As the doping scandal hovers over the start of the Paris Olympics, the United States swim
team is calling for fairness.
One-time Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky and fellow American swimmers support stringent
anti-doping policies.
Ledecky emphasized the importance of rules being applied fairly and consistently worldwide.
This comes after revelations that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for Trimtazidine,
a band-heart drug, before the Tokyo Olympics, yet faced no punishment.
The World Anti-Doping Agency accepted China's findings that the substance was unintentionally
ingested.
United States head men's coach Anthony Neste advocates for greater transparency to keep
the sport clean and safe.
In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Nationals 3-0.
Congratulations to Dylan Cease, who threw the second no-hitter in Padres history today.
And tonight.
The Padres are back on the road in Baltimore to take on the Orioles.
In top news, here is some promising news about Alzheimer's disease.
Historically, Alzheimer's has perplexed doctors and scientists who struggle to understand
its origins, progression, and treatment.
However, recent scientific advancements are paving the way for breakthroughs in prevention,
detection, and treatment.
According to Heather E. Whitson, doctor and co-director of the Duke, and University of
North Carolina, Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, these advancements could significantly
impact the disease, which is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.
There is now much to be optimistic about in building stronger, more resilient brains.
In business news, the launch of nine Ethereum exchange-traded funds this week marked a significant
milestone.
Approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, the funds drew a combined total
of $107 million in inflows.
BlackRock led, with $266 million.
However, Grayscale saw massive outflows of $484 million.
Despite the initial success, Ethereum's price dipped 0.8% since trading began.
Analysts attribute the smaller inflows compared to Bitcoin ETS to the SEC's ban on staking
and Grayscale's 2.5% fee.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $66,900.
Ethereum is just over $3,200.
And Solana is $174.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Scientists have opened up a 3,000-year-old crocodile, revealing extraordinary insights.
Ancient Egyptians mummified these creatures in ceremonies dedicated to the crocodile god,
Sobek.
Using X-ray and CT scanning technologies, archaeologists at the University of Manchester
explored the insides of a seven-foot crocodile, kept at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
Unlike human mummification, these crocodiles had their organs intact.
Among the findings were gastrolytes and a bronze fishhook, suggesting the crocodile
was intentionally caught for sacrifice.
This non-invasive study preserves the specimen for future display, offering a glimpse into
ancient sacrificial rituals.
And in entertainment news, Bob Marley expert Roger Stephens has sold his extensive Rege
archive, valued at up to $3 million, to Joseph Bogdanovich.
The sale, for an undisclosed multimillion-dollar sum, includes the largest collection of Marley
artifacts in the world.
Bogdanovich, a longtime friend of Stephens, plans to create a museum in Montego Bay to
house the collection.
Stephens' archive began in 1973 and includes rare items like a signed poster from Marley's
1978 concert.
Stephens spent around $500,000 on this collection, which has been used by numerous authors and
filmmakers for research.
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American politician and 43rd president, George W. Bush.
And he said,
To those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, well done.
To the C students, I say, you too can be president of the United States.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
