Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, June 24th. You'll be interested
to know, 528 years ago today, in 1497, the Italian
explorer John Cabot, sailing under the English
flag, made landfall on the coast of North America,
likely in present -day Newfoundland. This historic
voyage marked the first European exploration
of the region since the Norse expedition centuries
earlier. Cabot's journey opened the door for
future exploration and eventual settlement, laying
the foundation for the rich tapestry of cultures
and histories that would flourish in North America.
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf
Report. Tuesday in Encinitas and in North County.
It's looking clean this morning with knee -high
sets rolling in. Weights hold around two feet
throughout the morning, providing ideal conditions
for beginners. However, expect the winds to remain
onshore at two to four mile per hour, keeping
things smooth for those early rides. As the day
progresses, conditions may get a bit bumpy with
stronger winds later on. Best time to ride is
at 7 a .m. with the 1 -foot incoming mid -tide
when the south -southwest swell is 1 feet at
15 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 mph. The
first high tide Tuesday will be 3 .5 foot just
before 10 a .m. with a 2 -foot low tide just
before 2 .30. The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads
71 degrees for the water temperature. Wednesday
through Friday presents a mix of conditions,
starting with clean 2 to 3 feet waves on Wednesday
morning, ideal for beginners. Thursday sees a
slight increase to 3 to 4 feet, maintaining clean
conditions early before shifting to fair by afternoon.
Friday continues the trend with waist to chest
-high surf, offering fair conditions throughout
the day, ideal for all skill levels. This morning,
it's cloudy and it feels like 64 degrees with
no wind. The sunset will take place at 8 .04
and it will rise again tomorrow at 5 .42. It
looks like we're in for some partly sunny skies
today with a high around 64 and a light southwest
breeze. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy conditions
with a low of 60 and gentle winds. Looking ahead
in the weather. Expect mostly sunny skies Wednesday
and Thursday with highs around 65 to 68. Nights
will be mostly cloudy with lows in the low 60s.
Enjoy the weather. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, San Diego
Padres star. Fernando Tatis Jr. has filed a lawsuit
against Big League Advance, aiming to void a
future earnings contract potentially costing
him $34 million. The suit, lodged in San Diego
County Superior Court, claims that Big League
Advance used predatory tactics to entice him
into an investment deal disguised as an illegal
loan. Attorney Robert Hertzberg stated that Tatis
received $2 million upfront for 10 % of future
earnings. Tatis emphasized, I'm fighting this
battle not just for myself, but for everyone
still chasing their dream, aiming to protect
young athletes from deceptive practices. Now
on to sports. The Athletics celebrated a significant
milestone on Monday, marking the groundbreaking
for their $1 .8 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas
Strip. The site, covering nine acres of a 35
-acre area, will accommodate 33 ,000 fans. Athletics
owner John Fisher emphasized the long journey
to this point, saying these things take so long
to actually make happen. Major League Baseball
Commissioner Rob Manfred expressed excitement
about adding the athletics to Las Vegas' vibrant
sports scene. The stadium, expected to be completed
in 32 months, aims to provide a luxury experience
with numerous suites and amenities. Last night
at Petco Park, the Friars fell to the Nationals
10 -6. Despite a huge homer from Machado and
another from Tatis Jr., the Friars couldn't keep
up. Colick took the loss, allowing six runs over
four and one -third innings, as the Nationals'
bats, led by Wood and Bell, proved too strong.
Parker secured the win with solid pitching, leaving
the Padres at 42 -36, maintaining their position
in the division. Tonight... The Friars take on
the Nationals in San Diego for Game 2 of this
three -game series. Ryan Burgert, with a 1 .88
earned run average, faces Trever Williams, who
holds a 5 .54. First pitch at Petco is at 640,
with clear skies and temperatures around 69 degrees.
In top news, hotel owners in Los Angeles are
in open revolt against the city's new $30 an
hour minimum wage, which is set to be the highest
in the country. The city council voted last month
to gradually increase wages for hotel staff until
2028. Despite upcoming major sporting events,
hotel owners are concerned about the financial
strain, citing a decrease in foreign visitors
and rising labor costs. Many are canceling renovations
and scaling back services. The local hotel union
argues that higher wages are necessary for workers
to afford living in Los Angeles, where rental
costs are significantly higher than the national
average. In business news, Tesla's initial rollout
of robotaxi driverless vehicles has sparked a
significant rally. boosting Elon Musk's net worth
by $17 billion. Shares of Tesla surged 9%, or
$29, hitting a three -week high of over $350.
Musk, who holds a 13 % stake in Tesla, plus an
additional 9%, extended his lead as the world's
wealthiest person, outpacing Oracle chairman
Larry Ellison. by more than $175 billion. The
launch featured 10 to 20 Model Y vehicles, impressing
investors despite ongoing skepticism surrounding
Tesla's driverless initiatives. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 1 % to $105 ,000. Ethereum is
down 0 .5 % to just over $2 ,400. And... XRP
is down 1 % to $2 .15. Moving on to a more local

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. OpenAI and Johnny Ives'
first artificial intelligence device will not
be a wearable or in -ear product, according to
recent court filings. Leaders from I .O., the
consumer hardware team acquired by OpenAI for
$6 .5 billion, revealed that this device is still
at least a year away from being available for
sale, not shipping until at least 2026. The prototype's
design remains unfinished. Additionally, OpenAI
had to remove references to the IO brand due
to a trademark lawsuit from another startup called
IO, which claims OpenAI infringed on its trademark
rights. Pixar has experienced its worst opening
weekend in history with Elio, the studio's latest
animated feature. Released on June 20th, the
film earns just $21 million in North America
and $14 million overseas. This disappointing
performance marks a troubling low for the studio
behind beloved films like Toy Story and Finding
Nemo. Despite receiving positive reviews, and
an A Cinema score, Helios struggled to attract
audiences in a competitive market. With production
costs estimated at $150 million, the film must
rebound quickly to avoid becoming a costly misfire
for Pixar and its parent company, Disney. Well,
alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the British
novelist and playwright, George Bernard Shaw.
And he said, progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds cannot
change anything. And that's a wrap for this morning.
