Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, June 26. You'll be interested
to know. Eighty years ago today, in 1945, delegates
from 50 nations gathered in San Francisco, California,
to sign the United Nations Charter, establishing
the world's most important international organization.
This monumental event marked a commitment to
fostering global peace, security, and cooperation,
aiming to prevent future conflicts and promote
human rights worldwide. The United Nations has
since played a pivotal role in addressing international
challenges, reflecting humanity's enduring aspiration
for a harmonious and just world. So now you know.
And now, it's time for the SURF Report. Thursday
in Encinitas and North County. It's looking clean
this morning with 2 to 3 feet sets rolling in.
Weights hold around 2 to 3 feet throughout the
morning, providing nice conditions. Expect the
winds to remain sideshore at 1 to 2 mile per
hour, keeping things smooth for now. As the day
goes on, watch for some bumps as the winds shift
onshore. Best time to ride is at 6 a .m. with
a minus 1 foot incoming low tide when the south
-southwest swell is 1 feet at 19 seconds and
the side shore wind is 1 mile per hour. The first
high tide Thursday will be 4 foot just after
11 .30 a .m. with a 2 foot low tide at 4. The
near shore buoy at Beacons reads 70 degrees for
the water temperature. Friday through Sunday
features clean conditions with waist -to -chest
high waves, especially in the mornings. Light
winds shift from south -southwest to west -southwest,
providing fair conditions throughout the afternoons.
Saturday sees a slight decline in quality with
choppy surf in the afternoon, while Sunday starts
clean before becoming choppy later. Overall,
a decent weekend for casual surfers, particularly
in the mornings. This morning, it's cloudy and
it feels like 67 degrees with no wind. The sunset
will take place at Ego 4 and it will rise again
tomorrow at 543. It looks like we're in for some
partly sunny skies today with a high near 66
and a light southwest breeze. Tonight, expect
mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 62
and gentle winds. Looking ahead in the weather.
Expect partly sunny skies through Monday with
highs around 67 to 68 and light southwest winds.
Nights will be mostly cloudy with lows in the

Sunny Morning sent you. In local news. Thousands
of San Diego service members are deployed to
the Middle East, with six warships, including
the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, conducting
operations amid the ongoing Israel -Iran conflict.
The Vinson, now in its eighth month of deployment,
has been striking Iran -backed Houthi rebels
in Yemen, while U .S. Air Force B -2 bombers
executed weekend bombings against Iran. Iran
retaliated with missile strikes on a U .S. base
in Qatar, causing no casualties. Vice Admiral
Brad Cooper emphasized the considerable tactical
capability of Iran's military. Relief may be
on the way as the USS Gerald Ford departs for
deployment today. Now on to sports. Justin Herbert,
the highly paid quarterback for the Los Angeles
Chargers, is set to lose over $28 million of
his salary to taxes. While his average annual
salary of $52 .5 million seems impressive, California's
heavy tax burden will cut that figure significantly.
In fact, Herbert may take home less than half
of his salary after taxes. This staggering tax
bill exceeds what the Chargers pay some of their
other players, highlighting the financial challenges
athletes face in states with high income taxes.
Despite this, the appeal of living in Los Angeles
and playing for a respected coach remains strong.
In local sports. Yesterday afternoon at Petco,
the Friars edged the Nationals 1 -0. Nick Pivetta
was brilliant. Striking out ten over seven innings,
earning the win as Luis Cereza's second -inning
single brought home the only run. The Pottery's
bats remained quiet, but Morihan secured the
save with a perfect ninth. Despite strong pitching,
Mackenzie Gore took the loss for Washington.
San Diego now holds 46 wins and 36 losses, continuing
their fight in the division. Tomorrow afternoon,
the Friars take on the Reds in Cincinnati for
game one of a three -game series. Nick Martinez,
with a 4 .40 earned run average, faces Dylan
Cease, who holds a 3 .66. First pitch at 4 .10
with temperatures around 88 degrees. In top news,
is food really better in Europe? Many Americans
believe their food is unhealthy, often feeling
bloated and tired, after consuming wheat and
dairy. Influencers, including Joe Rogan and Gwyneth
Paltrow, have noted they can enjoy these foods
in Europe without discomfort. Claims suggest
that American food contains around 10 ,000 chemicals
compared to Europe's 400. However, experts argue
that many of these fears are unfounded. Issues
like food safety regulations and ingredient differences
exist. But the notion that banning specific chemicals
will lead to better health overlooks deeper systemic
problems, including lifestyle and health care
access. In business news, Mumble is set to lay
off approximately 30 % of its workforce, which
equates to around 240 employees. This decision
aims to realign the company's operating structure
and enhance its focus on strategic priorities.
Chief Executive Whitney Wolf Hurd stated, We
need to take decisive action to restructure to
build a company that's resilient, intentional,
and ready for the next decade. Following this
announcement, Bumble raised its second quarter
revenue outlook to between $244 million and $249
million. The company also anticipates significant
annual cost savings from this workforce reduction.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1 % to about
$108 ,000. Ethereum is unchanged at about $2
,500. And XRP is unchanged at $2 .19. Moving

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Scientists have uncovered a remarkable
genetic lineage of ancient hunter -gatherers
in Colombia. which appears to have no modern
descendants. This previously undocumented group
vanished approximately 2 ,000 years ago. Archaeologists
remarked that this discovery was unexpected as
it challenges previous beliefs about South American
ancestry. Researchers analyzed DNA from 21 individuals
at archaeological sites, revealing that seven
belonged to this mysterious population. By 2
,000 years ago, local genetics were replaced
by Central American populations, raising intriguing
questions about the origins and disappearance
of the Chequia people, as highlighted by the
study. Entertainment News The first new James
Bond in the Amazon era will debut in 2026, starring
in 007 First Light, developed by IO Interactive.
This version of Bond is described as young, brash,
and possessing a robust origin story, along with
a mysterious scar. This marks the first original
Bond since Daniel Craig's Casino Royale in 2006
and the first major Bond video game in 15 years.
IO Interactive's CDO, Haken Abrak, emphasizes
the pressure to honor the franchise's legacy.
while introducing a bond that balances humor
and optimism as he navigates the world of espionage.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize laureate,
Ralph Bunche. And he said, To make peace, you
must be an uncompromising leader. You must be
willing to fight for peace. as fiercely as others
fight for war. And that's a wrap for this morning.
