I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:13.580 and it's Tuesday, May 27th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:18.980 to know, 88 years ago today, in 1937, the magnificent 00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:22.120 Golden Gate Bridge opened to pedestrian traffic 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.699 in San Francisco, California. This engineering 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:28.940 marvel, spanning the Golden Gate Strait, connected 00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.299 the city to Moran County and stood as the longest 00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:35.899 and tallest suspension bridge of its time. Its 00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:38.799 completion symbolized human ingenuity and determination, 00:00:39.299 --> 00:00:42.600 overcoming numerous challenges to create an iconic 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.240 structure that continues to inspire and awe people 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:52.359 worldwide. So now you know. And now, it's time 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:58.560 for the Surf Report. Tuesday in Encinitas and 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.280 North County.

However, expect the winds 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.099 to shift onshore at 4 mph, creating some bumps 00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:20.459 as the day progresses. Overall, it's a good time 00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:22.980 to catch some waves before the wind picks up 00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:27.530 later. Best time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a 00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:31.489 zero -foot incoming low tide when the south -southwest 00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:36.209 swell is 2 .5 feet at 16 seconds and the sideshore 00:01:36.209 --> 00:01:41.290 wind is 4 mph. The first high tide Tuesday will 00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:44.930 be 3 .5 foot just before 11 a .m. with a two 00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:49.230 -foot low tide just before 3 .30. The nearshore 00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:53.049 buoy at Beacons reads 68 degrees for the water 00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:56.640 temperature. Wednesday through Friday features 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.280 waist -to -chest high waves with predominantly 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.659 clean morning conditions, especially on Wednesday. 00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:06.599 Winds remain light early, transitioning to fair 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.800 and then choppy by afternoon as speeds increase. 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.520 Thursday sees similar conditions with slight 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.759 size decrease, while Friday maintains fair surf 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.289 throughout the day. Overall, expect manageable 00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:23.469 waves, especially in the mornings, ideal for 00:02:23.469 --> 00:02:28.210 various skill levels. This morning, it's cloudy 00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:32.330 and it feels like 63 degrees with 8 mile per 00:02:32.330 --> 00:02:36.550 hour wind. The sunset will take place at 7 .52 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:41.270 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5 .42.

In local news, the local 00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:10.169 tourism industry in San Diego, which supports 00:04:10.169 --> 00:04:13.659 more than one in eight jobs, is bracing for a 00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:19.180 potential slowdown in 2025. San Diego Tourism 00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:22.300 Authority Chief Operating Officer Kerry Capich 00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:25.680 expressed concern, stating, We are starting to 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.120 see a slowdown. This comes after a successful 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.199 fiscal year in 2024, when 32 million visitors 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.759 contributed a significant economic impact of 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.550 $22 billion. As Memorial Day passes, many tourists 00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:46.410 are already flocking to the area. Local leaders 00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:49.250 are vigorously working to attract visitors and 00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:52.230 stimulate demand, with hopes for upcoming events 00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:55.970 like the World Cup and the 2028 Olympics boosting 00:04:55.970 --> 00:05:05.649 tourism. Now on to sports. Aaron Rodgers has 00:05:05.649 --> 00:05:08.189 hinted strongly that he may soon sign with the 00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:12.529 Pittsburgh Steelers. During a recent Q &A event, 00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:14.889 when asked about playing for the Chicago Bears, 00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:18.490 Rodgers quickly responded, no, and mentioned 00:05:18.490 --> 00:05:21.050 an upcoming game involving a team that plays 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:24.970 in Chicago. Fans noted that the Steelers faced 00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:28.790 the Bears at Soldier Field in Week 12. While 00:05:28.790 --> 00:05:31.189 some speculated about the New Orleans Saints, 00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:34.579 Rodgers ruled that out. stating he did not want 00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:37.980 to live in Louisiana. With the Steelers aggressively 00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:41.199 pursuing him, it seems Rodgers' decision may 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.920 be imminent, potentially marking a new chapter 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:50.779 in his career. Last night at Petco, the Padres 00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:54.160 edged the Marlins 4 -3 in an 11 -inning thriller. 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.160 Machado's eighth -inning homer tied it, setting 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.819 the stage for Wade's game -winning run on a wild 00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:04.779 pitch by Gibson. Murray Hahn earned the win, 00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:09.620 improving to 2 -2. San Diego showed resilience 00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.360 with five hits and one error, and the Padres 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.959 now boast a record of 30 -22, sitting strong 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.899 in the standings. Tonight, the Friars host the 00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:22.939 Marlins at Petco for Game 2 of the three -game 00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:27.300 series. Steph Kolek takes the mound for SD with 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:33.029 a 2 .86 CRA. facing Max Meyer and his 3 .44 ERA. 00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:38.189 First pitch at 640 under clear skies, 66 degrees. 00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:44.629 In top news, Congressman Joe Neguse recently 00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:47.970 joined The Weeknd to address the breeze and corruption 00:06:47.970 --> 00:06:51.310 surrounding former President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency 00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:55.430 dinner held last week. He highlighted the issues 00:06:55.430 --> 00:06:58.360 within the event. and emphasized how Democrats 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.980 are actively pushing back against the Republican 00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:03.959 Party's proposed bill, which includes significant 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.939 budget cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:11.660 Program and Medicaid. As the political landscape 00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:15.360 evolves, Nagus's comments shed light on the ongoing 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.100 conflicts between parties, aiming to protect 00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:20.740 essential social programs for those in need. 00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:26.189 In business news… The struggling rooftop solar 00:07:26.189 --> 00:07:30.170 industry faces a potentially fatal blow after 00:07:30.170 --> 00:07:32.629 the House of Representatives passed a tougher 00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:35.550 version of President Trump's expansive tax and 00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:39.310 spending package. This bill ends rich renewable 00:07:39.310 --> 00:07:42.490 energy credits, with credits for rooftop solar 00:07:42.490 --> 00:07:46.709 and battery storage terminating this year. Analysts 00:07:46.709 --> 00:07:49.089 warn this marks the end of residential solar 00:07:49.089 --> 00:07:52.290 as it exists today. leading to significant stock 00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:56.250 drops in companies like Sunrun, which fell 37%. 00:07:56.250 --> 00:07:59.689 Industry leaders urged the Senate to reconsider, 00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:03.290 emphasizing that home solar benefits the electric 00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:06.029 grid and contributes to energy independence. 00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:10.089 The fight over clean energy continues amidst 00:08:10.089 --> 00:08:13.750 rising electricity demand. In crypto movement, 00:08:14.149 --> 00:08:21.500 Bitcoin is up 4 % to $109 ,000. Ethereum is up 00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:26.019 half a percent to about $2 ,600.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:23.070 --> 00:09:27.730 science. During a severe heat wave in 2023, scientists 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:30.870 off the coast of Papua New Guinea made a surprising 00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:34.450 discovery about clownfish. Researchers measured 00:09:34.450 --> 00:09:38.990 the sizes of 134 of these iconic orange and white 00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:41.549 fish over several months and found that most 00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:45.629 shrank, in some cases by a few millimeters. Lead 00:09:45.629 --> 00:09:48.799 researcher Melissa Versteeg noted, we were so 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.120 surprised to see shrinking. Although the exact 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.539 mechanism is unclear, this adaptation may help 00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:58.360 clownfish survive rising ocean temperatures. 00:09:59.059 --> 00:10:02.659 The study adds complexity to the ongoing challenges 00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:06.120 faced by marine ecosystems, highlighting the 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.700 resilience of these creatures amid climate change. 00:10:14.509 --> 00:10:16.929 Jon Hamm is stepping back into the spotlight 00:10:16.929 --> 00:10:21.049 with his lead role in Apple TV +, Your Friends 00:10:21.049 --> 00:10:24.129 and Neighbors, marking his first television series, 00:10:24.389 --> 00:10:28.169 Lead, in a decade. Now for his iconic character, 00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:31.909 Don Draper, Hamm has explored various roles since, 00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:34.909 including comedic parts and dramatic performances. 00:10:35.929 --> 00:10:38.830 He expresses contentment with his career path, 00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:42.600 stating, I just wanted to work. emphasizing the 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.980 importance of surrounding himself with talented 00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:48.220 collaborators. As your friends and neighbors 00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:51.039 gains cultural interest, Ham reflects on his 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.779 growth, saying, I love being 50, and appreciates 00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:57.320 the opportunity to tell stories that resonate 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.759 with audiences. Well, all righty, folks, it's 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.679 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.179 quote comes from the American author and philosopher, 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:13.919 Ralph Waldo Emerson. And he said, what lies behind 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.200 us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:21.539 to what lies within us. And that's a wrap for 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:24.360 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.139 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:31.379 videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.299 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
