Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, August 5th.
You'll be interested to know.
Today is British Columbia Day, celebrating the province's rich history.
Established in 1974, it was inspired by Ontario's Simcoe Day.
While not a federal holiday, most residents enjoy the day off.
Canadians use this summer holiday for family outings,
appreciating the opportunity for a long weekend.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect knee-to-thigh high waves from the south-southwest on Monday,
building to stomach-high sets in the afternoon as the swell shifts west.
The mornings will start semi-choppy with onshore winds from 5 to 10 miles per hour,
shifting west in the afternoons.
This pattern continues through Tuesday with semi-glassy to semi-bumpy conditions
in the morning and semi-choppy in the afternoon due to south-to-south-southwest winds
from 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Expect similar conditions Wednesday and Thursday,
with swells rising slightly in the afternoons.
Monday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking clean to fare until noon at 2 to 3 feet.
After that, it will be choppy until 6, but might smooth out a little
for a sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a half-foot incoming low tide
when the west swell is 1 and a half feet at 15 seconds
and the onshore wind is 4 miles per hour.
The first high tide Monday will be 4 foot at 11.15 a.m.
with a 2-foot low tide at 4.15.
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 68 degrees for the water temperature.
This morning it's mostly sunny and feels like 66 degrees with 8 mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.42 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.06.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m.
Expect a mostly sunny day with a high near 72 degrees
and a northwest wind between 5 and 10 miles per hour.
Tonight, the sky should remain clear and calm.
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning through Saturday,
clearing by late morning.
Days will be mostly to partly sunny with highs in the low 70s.
Nights will be partly to mostly cloudy with lows around the upper 60s
and fog returning late.

In local news, Carlsbad may become the first city in San Diego County
to ban all types of smoking inside and outside multi-unit apartment
and condominium buildings.
The City Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday to introduce the ordinance,
with Councilmember Melanie Burkholder opposed, citing government overreach.
Mayor Keith Blackburn admitted the decision was difficult,
but emphasized the importance of public health.
The proposed ordinance targets secondhand smoke,
which contains harmful chemicals and would apply to various housing types.
Enforcement would fall to landlords and property managers.
If approved, the ban would take effect on January 1, 2025.
Now on to sports.
Noah Lylesmouth wrote the check, and on the Olympic stage, his feet cached it.
In Saint-Denis, France, Lyles struggled with slow starts,
yet he managed to turn a potential disaster into triumph.
Competing against a stellar field, including Jamaican's Kishane Thompson
and oblique Seville, Lyles found himself in fifth place at the 20-meter mark.
However, Lyles emphasized, races aren't won with starts.
His resilience and competitive spirit shone through,
culminating in a historic 9.79 second finish.
This made him America's first gold medalist in the 100 meters in 20 years.
In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Rockies 10-2.
Tonight, the Padres are off and headed on the road to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates.
In top news, Scottsdale, Arizona, known for its spa resorts and golf courses,
is turning its summer heat into a tourism attraction.
With triple-digit temperatures, the city launched a national campaign called
It's That Hot, promoting the heat as elegant and like a sage-scented sauna.
Hotels offer activities like nighttime mini-golf, cabana misters,
and poolside movies to help visitors cope.
Despite the campaign's creativity, experts worry about the dangers of romanticizing heat.
Maricopa County, which includes Scottsdale, reported 37 heat deaths this year.
The city prioritizes safety with green spaces and air conditioning.

Let's talk tech.
Elon Musk's startup, Neuralink, successfully implanted its brain chip in a second trial patient,
aiming to help paralyzed individuals use digital devices through thought alone.
The second patient, with a spinal cord injury similar to the first, now has 400 working
electrodes out of 1,024. The first patient, Nolan Darbaugh, previously used a mouth stick
for computer interaction, but now controls his laptop through thought, gaining independence.
Musk, during an eight-hour podcast, mentioned Neuralink plans to implant eight more patients
this year. He also discussed endorsing Donald Trump and improving government efficiency
through reduced regulation.
And in entertainment news, Aerosmith has announced a retirement from touring,
citing lead singer Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury. The band shared a heartfelt statement
on social media, saying, play our music loud, now and always. Dream on. You've made our
dreams come true. They expressed gratitude to their fans and reflected on their origins,
stating, it was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith.
Thanks to you, our blue army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades.
Previously purchased tour tickets will be refunded.
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American gymnast, Simone Biles. And she said,
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career,
including any of the things that I've accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be
here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself and you put your mind to something,
you can do it. 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.
