Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Wednesday, July 2nd. You'll be interested
to know. 61 years ago today, in 1964, President
Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act
into law, a landmark piece of legislation that
outlawed discrimination based on race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin. This pivotal
act marked a significant victory for the American
Civil Rights Movement, ending segregation in
public places and banning employment discrimination.
It stands as a testament to the nation's commitment
to equality and justice for all its citizens.
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf
Report. Wednesday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking fair this morning with knee to thigh
high sets rolling in. Weights hold around two
to three feet throughout the morning, providing
decent conditions. However, expect the winds
to remain onshore at four mile per hour, creating
some bumps as the day progresses. This afternoon,
the swell builds, bringing occasional sets up
to chest high. Best time to ride is at 6 a .m.
with a 2 -foot outgoing mid -tide when the south
-southwest swell is 1 .5 feet at 13 seconds and
the onshore wind is 4 mile per hour. The first
low tide Wednesday will be 1 .5 foot just before
9 a .m. with a 4 .5 foot high tide at 4 .15.
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 66 degrees
for the water temperature. Thursday through Saturday
features consistent clean conditions with waves
ranging from stomach to shoulder high. Morning
sessions are ideal with light winds under 5 mph,
while afternoons transition to fair with slight
bumpiness. Saturday holds the potential for better
conditions again in the morning. Overall, expect
manageable surf with occasional funsets, particularly
during the early hours. This morning, it's mostly
cloudy and it feels like 66 degrees with 8 mile
per hour wind. The sunset will take place at
8 .04 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5 .45.
It looks like we're in for some partly sunny
skies today with a high near 67 and a light west
breeze. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy conditions
with a low of 62 and light winds. Looking ahead
in the weather. Expect partly sunny skies on
Thursday with a high near 66 and light southwest
winds. Independence Day will be mostly sunny
with a high near 68. Nights will be mostly cloudy
with lows in the low 60s. And Saturday and Sunday
will remain partly sunny with highs around 69.

news, San Diego has reopened applications for
vacation home rental licenses in Mission Beach,
marking the first time in two and a half years.

designated for whole home short -term rentals
operating more than 20 days each year. City Council
member Jennifer Campbell stated that the ordinance
has helped return housing to the market while
providing options for visitors. The application
period will last for 45 days, ending on August
15th, with a random lottery determining processing
order for applicants. Now on to sports. The Milwaukee
Bucks have made a shocking move by signing Miles
Turner to a four -year contract worth $107 million,
replacing Brooke Lopes as the rim protector next
to Giannis Antetokounmpo. To create cap space,
they waived Damian Lillard, opting to pay him
$22 .5 million annually over five years, instead
of $113 million over two years. This decision
has left the Bucs without a starting point guard
and has raised concerns about their ability to
compete. While Turner is a solid player, his
fit and the long -term implications of this move
remain questionable. Last night at Citizens Bank
Park in Philadelphia, the Padres' clash with
the Phillies was postponed due to rain. This

passed President Trump's budget reconciliation
bill. securing an additional $10 billion for
NASA's Artemis program. This funding will support
more Space Launch System rockets and the Gateway
Station orbiting the Moon, a move criticized
by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and billionaire entrepreneur

System is overly costly and expendable, with
production costs estimated at $2 .5 billion per
launch. Isaacman, during confirmation hearings,
expressed skepticism about the long -term viability
of the rocket. Nonetheless, Congress is moving
forward with these initiatives, despite prior
proposals to phase out the Space Launch System.
Ahead of the sequel to St. Elmo's Fire, Rob Lowe
reflects on his favorite moment from the original
film, calling it one of the most 1980s experiences.
Lowe, who portrayed Billy Hicks in the iconic
Coming of Age movie, highlighted the memorable
scene of playing the saxophone in a bar, which
he fondly embraces as a quintessential part of
the era. While some elements of the film have
not aged well, the nostalgia remains strong.
As fans await the sequel, questions arise about
whether Billy will still play the saxophone,
a detail that could define the continuation of
this beloved story. Well, alrighty folks, it's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the American writer and philosopher,
Eric Hoffer. And he said, In times of change,
learners inherit the earth. while the learned
find themselves beautifully equipped to deal
with a world that no longer exists. And that's
a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
