WEBVTT 00:00:01.739 --> 00:00:04.360 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.800 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.460 and it's Tuesday, August 12th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.579 to know, 65 years ago today, in 1960, the United 00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:22.079 States launched ECHO -1, the first passive communication 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.579 satellite from Cape Canaveral, Florida. This 00:00:26.579 --> 00:00:29.399 pioneering achievement marked a significant milestone 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.659 in space exploration and telecommunications, 00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:35.380 paving the way for the development of modern 00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:38.460 satellite communications and global connectivity. 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.840 So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:51.240 Report. Tuesday in Encinitas and North County. 00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:54.829 It's looking fair this morning with waist to 00:00:54.829 --> 00:00:58.130 chest high sets rolling in. Weights hold around 00:00:58.130 --> 00:01:01.009 5 to 7 feet throughout the morning, providing 00:01:01.009 --> 00:01:05.390 good conditions. Expect the winds to remain sideshore 00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:09.010 at 5 to 6 mile per hour, keeping things relatively 00:01:09.010 --> 00:01:12.909 smooth as the day progresses. However, conditions 00:01:12.909 --> 00:01:16.489 may become choppy later with a shift to onshore 00:01:16.489 --> 00:01:21.269 winds. Best time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a 00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:24.390 zero -foot low tide when the southwest swell 00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:28.569 is four feet at 16 seconds and the sideshore 00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:32.950 wind is five mile per hour. The first high tide 00:01:32.950 --> 00:01:35.969 on Tuesday will be five feet just before noon, 00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.430 followed by a one and a half foot low tide at 00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:44.750 six. The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 73 degrees 00:01:44.750 --> 00:01:48.319 for the water temperature. Wednesday through 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.780 Friday presents inconsistent surf conditions. 00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:54.700 Wednesday starts fair with 4 to 5 feet waves 00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:57.879 and light south winds, but transitions to choppy 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.420 by midday. Thursday improves briefly with clean 00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:04.500 mornings at 3 to 4 feet, but choppy conditions 00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:08.240 return in the afternoon. Friday sees persistent 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.680 choppy surf at 2 to 4 feet and increasing south 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.680 winds, making for a less favorable surf experience 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.960 overall. This morning, it's cloudy and it feels 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.960 like 69 degrees with 5 mile per hour wind. The 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.300 sunset will take place at 738 and it will rise 00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:31.939 again tomorrow at 612. It looks like we're in 00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:34.800 for some partly sunny skies today with a high 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.120 near 72 and a light southern breeze. Tonight, 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.340 expect mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:49.699 66. and gentle winds at 5 mph.

The district will enforce phone 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.800 -free school day guidelines aimed at reducing 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.319 distractions and supporting students' mental 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.009 health and academic performance. This policy 00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:38.610 requires students from transitional kindergarten 00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:42.069 through 12th grade to turn off phones and keep 00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:44.329 them out of sight during regular school hours. 00:04:44.949 --> 00:04:48.769 The district boasts a 90 .9 % graduation rate 00:04:48.769 --> 00:04:52.449 with strong academic momentum and increased athletic 00:04:52.449 --> 00:05:02.529 participation. Now on to sports. The first Associated 00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:05.750 Press poll of the 2025 college football season 00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:09.170 has been released, with Texas, Penn State, and 00:05:09.170 --> 00:05:12.970 Ohio State leading the rankings. Texas kicks 00:05:12.970 --> 00:05:15.850 off the season at number one, facing a significant 00:05:15.850 --> 00:05:18.790 challenge against third -ranked Ohio State on 00:05:18.790 --> 00:05:22.709 August 30th. The Southeastern Conference boasts 00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:26.269 10 teams in the top 25, the most ever by one 00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:30.029 conference. Notable statistics include Texas' 00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:33.889 26 turnovers last season and Penn State's impressive 00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:40.569 3 ,237 rushing yards.

San Diego's record improves to 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.220 67 -52 as they take Game 1 of the series over 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:20.240 the Giants. Tonight, the Padres and Giants clash 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.459 again for Game 2 of this three -game series. 00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:29.079 Nestor Cortez, who is 1 -1 with a 7 .11 earned 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.420 run average, faces Robbie Ray, who is 9 -5 with 00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:38.660 a 2 .85. First pitch at 6 .45 under clear skies 00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:42.000 and a comfortable 65 degrees at Oracle Park. 00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:48.019 In top news. In a bold move, President Trump 00:06:48.019 --> 00:06:50.319 has deployed National Guard troops to Washington, 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.689 D .C. placing the city's police department under 00:06:53.689 --> 00:06:57.009 federal control. At a recent news conference, 00:06:57.290 --> 00:07:00.550 Trump declared, This is Liberation Day in D .C., 00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:03.850 and we're going to take our capital back. He 00:07:03.850 --> 00:07:06.709 dispatched approximately 800 National Guard troops 00:07:06.709 --> 00:07:10.089 and indicated he may involve active -duty military 00:07:10.089 --> 00:07:14.029 personnel if necessary. Local leaders, including 00:07:14.029 --> 00:07:16.970 Mayor Muriel Bowser, criticized the decision 00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:21.459 as unsettling and unprecedented. The president's 00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:23.920 actions are intended to address rising crime 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.160 rates, with a focus on ensuring safety for all 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.519 citizens in the capital. In business news, some 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.639 debts are not worth paying back, especially when 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.259 it comes to zombie debt. This type of old debt 00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:41.959 is often uncollectible after a certain period, 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.199 but collection agencies may try to intimidate 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.860 individuals into restarting payment timelines. 00:07:48.970 --> 00:07:51.790 Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices 00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:54.970 Act, once the legal deadline passes, the debt 00:07:54.970 --> 00:07:58.430 becomes time -barred, meaning collectors cannot 00:07:58.430 --> 00:08:02.769 sue. However, hold debts can resurface after 00:08:02.769 --> 00:08:06.490 inactivity. It is crucial to regularly review 00:08:06.490 --> 00:08:09.709 credit reports, know your rights, and ask for 00:08:09.709 --> 00:08:13.410 proof of the debt. Remember, taking action could 00:08:13.410 --> 00:08:17.589 inadvertently restart the collection clock. Stay 00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:21.269 informed and protect yourself. In crypto movement, 00:08:21.649 --> 00:08:28.810 Bitcoin is down 2 % to $119 ,000. Ethereum is 00:08:28.810 --> 00:08:34.830 down 1 % to just under $4 ,300.

Visionaries 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.700 like Ray Kurzweil and Ian Pearson anticipate 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:02.460 breakthroughs that will extend life significantly, 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.600 projecting a merger of humans and machines by 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.960 2045. However, critics argue that the promise 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.840 of technology comes with challenges. including 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.860 potential inequalities. As we approach these 00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:19.840 possibilities, questions about motivation and 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:26.620 societal impact remain ever relevant.

The peak viewing nights 00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:41.549 are August 12th and 13th. although a full moon 00:10:41.549 --> 00:10:45.350 may obscure some of the meteors. The Perseids, 00:10:45.509 --> 00:10:48.149 which originate from the constellation Perseus, 00:10:48.269 --> 00:10:51.690 can produce up to 100 meteors per hour at their 00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:54.970 height.

And he said, The saddest 00:11:21.950 --> 00:11:24.629 aspect of life right now is that science gathers 00:11:24.629 --> 00:11:28.149 knowledge faster and society gathers wisdom. 00:11:29.590 --> 00:11:33.220 And that's a wrap for this morning.
