Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, October 23rd. You'll be interested
to know. 79 years ago, today, in 1946. The United
Nations General Assembly met for its inaugural
session in London, uniting representatives to
create a new forum for collective diplomacy.
That gathering marked a major milestone, establishing
procedures and encouraging nations to pursue
shared peacebuilding and cooperative governance
frameworks. So now you know. And now, it's time
for the Surf Report. Thursday in Encinitas. This
morning, it's looking clean with two feet from
the south -southwest round swell. Conditions
stay fair as we move into the morning, with waves
holding at two -plus feet. Winds are offshore
around four miles per hour now, but will shift
onshore later, bringing some bump to the surface.
Best time to ride is at 10 a .m. with a six -foot
high tide, when the south -southwest swell is
one and a half feet at 15 seconds, and the offshore
wind is three mile per hour. The first high tide
on Thursday will be five and a half feet at 10
a .m. Followed by a zero -foot low tide just
before five. The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads
65 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
remain clean with two -foot waves on Friday morning,
ideal for beginners. By the afternoon, choppy
conditions set in as winds pick up to eight mile
per hour. Saturday holds similar size, but sees
a shift to choppy conditions in the afternoon,
especially after 1 o 'clock. Sunday brings a
steady 2 -plus foot swell, with the best conditions
early on before winds increase later. This morning,
it's partly sunny, and it feels like 66 degrees
with no wind. The sunset will take place at 6
.07, and it will rise again tomorrow at 7 .02.
It looks like we're in for some mostly sunny
skies today with a high near 66 and a light southwest
breeze. Tonight, expect patchy fog after 5 a
.m., partly cloudy conditions with a low around
60 and a gentle southwest wind. Looking ahead
in the weather, Friday starts with patchy fog
before 11 a .m. then becomes mostly sunny with
a high near 68 and a light southwest wind of
around 5 miles per hour. Patchy fog returns each
night with lows around 60 through Monday morning,
while daytime highs stay in the mid to upper
60s and mostly sunny to partly sunny skies persist.

news, in an attempt to raise $135 million for
the city of San Diego, Councilmember Shawnilo
Rivera is proposing a new tax on short -term
vacation rentals and on out -of -towners holding
vacant second homes. Rivera stated, this very
simple premise is that if you choose to take
a home away from a San Diegan, there is a cost
associated with that and you need to pay your
fair share. He believes this proposal will raise
money and help address the social consequences
of tourism and out -of -town wealth. Investors
who own long -term rentals will not be affected,
as Rivera insists. If this is a place that a
San Diegan calls home, it will not be taxed here.
The first meeting to discuss the proposal is
set for Wednesday, October 23rd, at City Hall.

approved minority sales for the San Francisco

science. In a freak accident, scientists may
have unlocked faster internet for everyone. This
discovery could also enhance artificial intelligence
data center's ability to transfer vast amounts
of information more effectively. Researchers
have created a chip -sized frequency comm, which
splits laser light into multiple colors, each
representing its own optical channel. This new
technology replaces costly and powerful lasers.
allowing for compact, energy -efficient systems.
As artificial intelligence data centers struggle
to transmit data swiftly, this innovation could
revolutionize their operations. Columbia University's
Michael Lipson emphasizes that this progress
is vital for efficient data center infrastructure.
