Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, October 10th. You'll be interested
to know. 159 years ago, today, in 1845, the United
States Naval Academy was founded in Annapolis,
Maryland, marking a moment of human achievement
in education and leadership. A beacon of progress
and aspiration. So now you know. And now it's
time for the surf report. Friday in Encinitas.
This morning it's looking fair with waves at
two feet. Conditions will turn choppy as the
day goes on with heights dropping to one plus
feet by noon. Winds are currently onshore at
8 miles per hour, staying steady through the
morning before increasing slightly to 10 miles
per hour in the afternoon. Best time to ride
is at 8 a .m. with a four -foot incoming mid
-tide when the southwest swell is one feet at
15 seconds and the sightshore wind is eight mile
per hour. The first high tide on Friday will
be six and a half feet just before 1130 a .m.
followed by a half -foot low tide at 645. The
nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 65 degrees for
the water temperature. Saturday offers clean
conditions with waves around 2 to 3 feet early,
but expect choppy conditions as the day progresses
with increasing winds. Sunday brings a steady
swell of 3 to 4 feet, maintaining clean conditions
in the morning before shifting to choppy later.
Monday sees similar sizes at 3 plus feet, but
remains choppy throughout, making Sunday the
standout day for surf. This morning, there's
a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms,
and it feels like 67 degrees with 10 mile per
hour wind. The sunset will take place at 622,
and it will rise again tomorrow at 652. It looks
like we're in for a slight chance of showers
and thunderstorms before 5 p .m., but mostly
sunny skies with a high near 70 and a northwest
wind at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Tonight, expect
partly cloudy skies with a low around 65 and
light winds. Looking ahead in the weather. Saturday
will be mostly sunny, with highs near 68 and
a light southwest wind of 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Sunday and Columbus Day will stay mostly sunny,
with highs in the mid -60s and nights near 61,

Monday night into Tuesday, with cooler daytime

secured hundreds of millions of dollars for a
long -planned expansion of the San Diego Convention
Center after 20 years of challenges. However,
Mayor Todd Gloria announced that the expansion
will not happen just yet as the focus will shift
to updating and modernizing the existing facility.
An estimated expansion would now cost $1 billion,
nearly double the previous estimate from 2017.
Before moving forward, the City must wait for
5th Avenue LLC's lease to end and introduce an
ordinance outlining timelines for tax collection
related to Measure C. 59 % of the funds generated
from Measure C will be allocated to the Convention
Center for fiscal year 2026. Now on to sports.

Donald Trump acted to support an ally in Latin
America, despite some dissatisfaction among his
supporters. On Thursday, the Trump administration
finalized a financial rescue, with Besant revealing
he directly purchased Argentine pesos in global
currency markets. This move aims to relieve pressure
on President Javier Mele, who has implemented
drastic economic reforms. Along with this intervention,
the United States has arranged a currency swap
of $20 billion with Argentina's central bank.
Economist Brad Setzer criticized the decision
to buy pesos, noting Argentina's history of debt
defaults. In business news, Elon Musk is quietly

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. OpenAI did not expect
Sora's copyright drama. When it released its
new AI -generated video app Sora, it included
an opt -out policy for copyright holders. However,
after a backlash over content, CEO Sam Altman
announced a policy reversal to allow rights holders
to decide how to proceed. Altman acknowledged
that responses to the app were unexpectedly nuanced.
with many wanting more control over their likenesses.
Concerns over misinformation from hyper -realistic
videos also surfaced, prompting discussions about
the app's watermark. Despite initial challenges,
Sora remains a top app on Apple's App Store,
indicating strong demand. Sam Rockwell portrays
a disheveled man from the future, sent back to
save humanity from an impending artificial intelligence
uprising. Dressed in a plastic raincoat and mismatched
shoes, he embodies the chaotic energy of a Terry
Gilliam character. His mission? To find unlikely
heroes among the late night crowd at a diner
in Los Angeles. This irreverent film combines
elements of time loops and video games with Rockwell's
character trying to break a cycle over numerous
attempts. It challenges perceptions of reality
while also critiquing our screen -obsessed society.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
And he said... The only person you're destined
to become is the person you decide to be. And
that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
