to know, 229 years ago today, in 1796, surveyors
of the Connecticut Land Company named an area
in Ohio, Cleveland, after General Moses Cleveland,
the superintendent of the surveying party. This
event marked the founding of what would become
a vibrant city, known for its rich cultural heritage,
industrial innovation, and contributions to music
and the arts. Cleveland's establishment laid
the groundwork for a community that would grow
to inspire and achieve remarkable milestones
in American history. So now you know. And now,
it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday in Encinitas
and North County. It's looking clean this morning
with knee -high sets rolling in. Weights hold
around two feet throughout the morning, providing
nice conditions. However, expect the winds to
remain onshore at two mile per hour, keeping
things smooth as the day progresses. As the afternoon
approaches, the winds will shift slightly, creating
semi -choppy conditions. Best time to ride is
at 6 a .m. with the 1 -foot incoming mid -tide

and the onshore wind is 2 mile per hour. The
first high tide Tuesday will be 4 foot just before
9 .30 a .m. with a 2 .5 foot low tide at 1 .30.
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 72 degrees
for the water temperature. Wednesday through
Friday features clean conditions in the mornings
with waves ranging from 2 to 4 feet, ideal for
beginners and longboarders. Light winds under
5 mph create smooth surfaces early on. However,
afternoon sessions will see increasing chop and
winds shifting to the west, making conditions
less favorable. Expect choppy surf with potential
for fun rides on Friday evening. This morning,
it's patchy drizzle, and it feels like 68 degrees
with 8 mph wind. The sunset will take place at
7 .57, and it will rise again tomorrow at 5 .57.
It looks like we're in for some patchy drizzle
before 11 a .m., then mostly cloudy skies with
a high around 68, and a light southwest breeze.
Tonight. Expect cloudy conditions with a low
of 65 and light winds. Looking ahead in the weather.

in damage. The boat's operator was arrested for
boating under the influence, hit and run, and
operating a vessel with a blood alcohol level
exceeding the legal limit. Surveillance footage

colliding with a decommissioned Navy ship along
the downtown waterfront. Fortunately, there were
no reported injuries. The estimated damage to
the museum is $100 ,000, but the museum remains
open to the public. The investigation continues.
Now on to sports. On Sunday, President Donald
Trump used his social media account to demand
that two professional sports teams restore Native
American -based names they had previously abandoned.
The Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians
were targeted in his all -caps tirade, with Trump
threatening the Commanders that he would not
assist them in securing a stadium deal in Washington,
D .C., unless they re -embraced the Redskins.
While the Guardians responded to Trump, the commanders
have remained silent, prompting speculation about
their reluctance to engage. Their silence raises
questions about whether they are simply avoiding
controversy or secretly wish to revert to the
old name. Yesterday afternoon in Miami, the Padres
edged out the Marlins 2 -1 at Lone Depot Park.
Merrill drove in Bogerts with a single in the

news, scientists have made a significant breakthrough
in nuclear fusion. as the Wendelstein 7X stellarator
in Germany has set a new record for plasma duration.
Researchers sustained fusion reactions for an
impressive 43 seconds, marking the longest duration
ever achieved in nuclear fusion, surpassing previous
records held by TOGAMAX. Unlike nuclear fission,
which produces toxic waste, nuclear fusion only
requires hydrogen ions. promising clean, limitless
energy. This achievement demonstrates the potential
of stellarators, which can operate more flexibly
and efficiently. Professor Thomas Klinger from
the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics hailed
this milestone as a step toward viable fusion
energy. In business news, consumer behavior is
sending flashing red signals. as an increasing
number of Americans are skipping car payments.
While headlines suggest inflation is easing and
job markets are strong, the reality is troubling.
According to LendingTree, 5 .1 % of Americans
are delinquent on auto loans, with 2 % at least
30 days late. Subprime auto delinquencies have
reached a 15 -year high, according to Fitch.
This trend indicates deeper structural pressures

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Astrophysicists have made a groundbreaking
discovery revealing the largest known merger
of two black holes. This violent collision created
a single black hole approximately 225 times the
mass of the Sun. The merger produced a gravitational
wave that rippled across the universe, detected
by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave
Observatory in Washington. and Louisiana. The
faint signal, lasting only 0 .2 seconds, was
announced on July 13 in Glasgow. Researchers
are still unraveling the mystery of this event
and exploring how these black holes may have
formed. This finding opens exciting new avenues
for cosmic research. Pedro Pascal is setting
the record straight regarding his role in Avengers
Doomsday. In a recent interview, director Matt
Shachman discussed casting Reed Richards, also
known as Mr. Fantastic. He mentioned the character's
evolution from a nerdy scientist to a father
and leader. However, rumors circulating online
suggested Pascal would lead the Avengers. which
he clarified to Entertainment Weekly is not the
case. What Matt has said about Reed and the comic
has been taken out of context, he explained.
