WEBVTT 00:00:01.779 --> 00:00:04.740 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.140 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:14.000 and it's Monday, August 25th. You'll be interested 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.399 to know. 416 years ago today, in 1609, Galileo 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.739 unveiled his first telescope to the Venetian 00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:27.609 Senate in Venice, Italy. This groundbreaking 00:00:27.609 --> 00:00:30.190 demonstration marked a pivotal moment in the 00:00:30.190 --> 00:00:33.170 history of astronomy, as Galileo's telescope 00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:36.250 allowed for unprecedented observations of the 00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:39.810 night sky. His subsequent discoveries, including 00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.630 the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, 00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:45.750 provided compelling evidence for the heliocentric 00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:49.109 model of the solar system, fundamentally transforming 00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:53.490 our understanding of the universe. So now you 00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:57.969 know. And now, It's time for the surf report. 00:01:01.009 --> 00:01:05.269 Monday in Encinitas and North County. This morning, 00:01:05.450 --> 00:01:08.469 it's looking clean with waves around 2 to 4 feet. 00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.310 Conditions stay clean until about 9, then shift 00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:15.969 to fair as the wind picks up slightly. By the 00:01:15.969 --> 00:01:18.989 afternoon, we're seeing 2 to 3 plus feet, but 00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:21.730 it'll get choppy as the onshore wind increases 00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:26.159 to 10 miles per hour by 2. Best time to ride 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.540 is at 7 a .m. with a two -foot incoming low tide 00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:34.060 when the South Southwest swell is one and a half 00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:38.019 feet at 19 seconds and the onshore wind is four 00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:41.640 mile per hour. The first high tide on Monday 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.920 will be five feet at 1115 a .m. followed by a 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.239 one and a half foot low tide just before five. 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.290 The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 75 degrees 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:58.269 for the water temperature. Conditions begin strong 00:01:58.269 --> 00:02:01.689 with clean waves in the 2 to 4 foot range, ideal 00:02:01.689 --> 00:02:04.849 for morning sessions. As the day progresses, 00:02:05.049 --> 00:02:07.810 winds pick up, leading to choppy conditions by 00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:11.229 midday. The following day sees a slight drop 00:02:11.229 --> 00:02:14.750 in size, remaining in the 2 to 3 plus foot range 00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:18.650 with consistent shock. By the end of the period, 00:02:18.870 --> 00:02:21.789 conditions improve slightly, offering fair surf. 00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:27.120 This morning, there's patchy fog, and it feels 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.360 like 73 degrees, with 5 mile per hour wind. The 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.639 sunset will take place at 724, and it will rise 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.300 again tomorrow at 620.

But 00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:50.080 overall it'll be mostly sunny, with a high near 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:56.080 72 at a late west breeze.

And today, our 00:11:16.070 --> 00:11:19.070 quote comes from the American poet and philosopher, 00:11:19.669 --> 00:11:24.230 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. And he said, all 00:11:24.230 --> 00:11:26.970 things must change to something new, to something 00:11:26.970 --> 00:11:30.990 strange.
