Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, September 5th. You'll be interested
to know. Forty -eight years ago, today in 1977,
NASA launched the Voyager 1 spacecraft, a shining
testament to human curiosity and exploration
from Cape Canaveral, Florida. That bold mission
carried our hopes beyond the outer planets, unveiling
the wonders of Jupiter and Saturn, and continues
to send back precious data from interstellar
space, inspiring generations to reach for the
stars. So now you know. And now it's time for
the Surf Report. Friday in Encinitas. This morning
is looking fair with waves around three to four
plus feet. Conditions stay fair until late morning
when they drop to two to four feet. Winds are
currently on shore at four miles per hour, picking
up to nine miles per hour by noon, adding some
shock to the surface. Best time to ride is at
8 a .m. with a four -foot incoming high tide
when the south southwest swell. is 3 feet at
14 seconds, and the onshore wind is 3 mile per

.5 feet at 9 a .m., followed by a 2 -foot low

reads 73 degrees for the water temperature. Saturday
offers solid 3 -plus foot waves with clean conditions
early on and light winds from the southwest.
However, expect choppy conditions by midday as
winds shift onshore. Sunday sees a slight decrease
to 2 to 4 feet, but maintains clean conditions

day of the period. Monday brings smaller 2 to
3 plus foot weights with fair conditions, especially
in the morning. This morning, there's patchy
fog. And it feels like 69 degrees, with 5 mile

stop service at San Diego International Airport
on October 4th, just weeks before the new Terminal
1 opens. The budget airline, known for offering
flights to destinations like Las Vegas for as
little as $25 one way, is restructuring its operations.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in under a year.

Now on to sports. Caitlyn Clark's season is officially
over, as the Indiana Fever star announced on
social media Thursday night, I had hoped to share
a better update, but I will not be returning
to play this season. She expressed her feelings
of disappointment, thanking fans for their support
through this frustrating time. Clark has been
sidelined since July 16th with a right groin
injury and despite her hard work to recover,
Time was not on her side. Last night, we kicked
off the NFL season with Cowboys at Eagles. Philly
came out on top 24 to 20. After a brief lightning
delay, the Eagles pulled ahead, with Jalen Hertz
going 19 for 23, with 152 yards. Hertz really
shined in the running game, and the boys couldn't
stop him. as he racked up 62 yards rushing with
two touchdowns. Dak Prescott was in good form
with 188 yards passing, going 21 for 34. And
tonight, the brilliant decision -makers at NFL
headquarters decided to take a home game away
from the Chargers, with their opening game being
played in Brazil as they face the Chiefs. This
game can only be watched on YouTube. Luckily
for free, with a game time at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific.
On to college football tomorrow. Not too many
big matchups, but a good one might be number
15 Michigan at number 18 Oklahoma, which kicks
off at 430 Pacific on ABC. The Sooners are favored
by five and a half. In local sports, the Padres
were off last night. Tonight, they open game
one of a three -game series against the Rockies
at Coors Field in Denver. The pitcher has yet
to be determined for the Friars. Kyle Freeland
takes the mound for Colorado, holding a record
of 3 -14 with a 5 .41 earned run average. First
pitch is set for 540. The temperature is a comfortable
69 degrees under partly sunny skies. In top news,
Matthew Bowyer, at the center of the Shohei Otani
bedding scandal, received more than $16 million
in wires from Otani's account. And this led to
an investigation threatening the Las Vegas gambling
scene. Bowyer, a former poker player, became
involved in an illegal bookmaking operation,
attracting clients through various means. In
December 2023, Otani signed a record contract
with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but by March 2024,
reports emerged linking him to illegal gambling,
leading to Otani denying any involvement. Boyer,
who had been successfully running his operation
for years, now faces serious legal repercussions
as his empire crumbles under scrutiny. In business
news, This stock just displaced Palantir to become
the S &P 500's top -performing stock. Move over
Palantir, you have new competition. Seagate,
the computer storage provider. Artificial Intelligence
Defense Contractor Palantir has a mastic cult
following with a $370 billion valuation and one
of the richest valuations of all time. However,
after ascending nearly 2000 % from its October
2020 initial public offering and joining the
S &P 500 index, the company has hit a setback.
Over the last week, a 10 % rally in shares of
digital storage company Seagate Technology has
helped it quietly displace the one -time best
performer in the index. Seagate is now the best
performing stock in the index, while Palantir
sits at number two. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
is down half a percent for the week, to about
$111 ,000. Ethereum is down 9%, to just over

And now back to the show. Let's talk science.
This disease is on the rise and many people do
not know that they have it. 9 out of 10 people
with chronic kidney disease only find out when
it progresses to later stages. An estimated 700
million people worldwide have chronic kidney
disease, including 35 .5 million people in the
United States. Experts warn that the biggest
health risk associated with chronic kidney disease
is dying from heart disease. Early detection
is key to slowing the progression of kidney damage,
especially with new treatments available. Entertainment
news. What should have been the perfect pairing
of artist and material instead falls victim to
impossible expectations as the master overstuffs
his creation. Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein
more as a tortured artist than a scientist. More
than once, incensed characters accuse the mad
doctor of being the true monster in Guillermo
del Toro's Frankenstein. Del Toro remains a cinematic
master with every costume set and propcrafted
with formidable imagination and daunting attention
to detail. However, the film feels as if we are
watching through a peephole. Alas, Del Toro's
depiction of sexuality remains strangely stunted,
raising questions about the monster's attraction.
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American astronaut and physicist Sally Ride.
And she said, We all have natural curiosity.
Science is a process of investigating. It's posing
questions and coming up with a method. It's delving
in. And that's a wrap for this morning. You can
check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
for some captivating aerial videos with local
news and the surf reports. Have an amazing day,
my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow with
another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
