WEBVTT 00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.990 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.589 --> 00:00:08.550 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.869 and it's Friday, March 13th. You'll be interested 00:00:12.869 --> 00:00:19.989 to know. 245 years ago, today, in 1781, William 00:00:19.989 --> 00:00:22.890 Herschel spotted a faint planet through a new 00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:26.190 reflecting telescope and recognized it as a distinct 00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:29.210 world beyond Saturn, opening a broader view of 00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:33.390 the solar system. The finding elevated observational 00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:36.649 astronomy adding a seventh planet to the catalog 00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:39.969 of known worlds and inspiring improved instruments 00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:43.770 and systematic sky surveys that advanced planetary 00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:49.609 science. So now you know. And now it's time for 00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:56.630 the Surf Report. Friday in Encinitas. This morning 00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:00.030 it's looking clean with waves at three to five 00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.369 feet.

Best time to ride is at nine a .m. 00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:21.969 with a two -foot outgoing mid -tide when the 00:01:21.969 --> 00:01:25.629 South Southwest swell is two feet at 16 seconds 00:01:25.629 --> 00:01:30.060 and the offshore wind is two mile per hour. The 00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:33.280 first low tide on Friday will be zero -foot at 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.519 1 .30 p .m., followed by a three -and -a -half 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.439 -foot high tide at 8 .30. The nearshore buoy 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.579 at Beacons reads 63 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.700 Conditions remain fair on Saturday with waves 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.540 around two to three feet and light winds from 00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:55.140 the south. Expect choppy conditions in the afternoon 00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:59.280 as winds increase to 10 miles per hour. Sunday 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.200 brings a steady increase in swell, reaching 3 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.340 to 4 plus feet with clean conditions early, making 00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:09.060 it the best day of the period. Monday holds similar 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.199 size, but choppy conditions develop later in 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.360 the day.

More than 00:03:52.949 --> 00:03:56.469 100 San Diego high schoolers learned about personal 00:03:56.469 --> 00:03:59.789 finance at Intuit's San Diego campus on Thursday 00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:02.990 as California moves to require a semester of 00:04:02.990 --> 00:04:06.710 personal finance for all high schoolers. About 00:04:06.710 --> 00:04:11.789 150 students from San Diego Unified, Poway, Grossmont, 00:04:12.110 --> 00:04:15.090 and Sandigedo Union participated in the workshop. 00:04:16.090 --> 00:04:19.110 Intuit's Financial Literacy Forum aims to bring 00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:22.329 complex money concepts to life via interactive 00:04:22.329 --> 00:04:25.850 tools and scenarios featuring game -style financial 00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:30.050 challenges. In June 2024, Governor Newsom signed 00:04:30.050 --> 00:04:35.430 Assembly Bill 2927 into law, adding a standalone 00:04:35.430 --> 00:04:38.449 personal finance course to high school graduation 00:04:38.449 --> 00:04:47.779 requirements. Now onto sports. The Minnesota 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:50.660 Vikings made a significant move on Thursday, 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.639 signing quarterback Kyler Murray to a one -year 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:58.620 contract worth $1 .3 million. This decision comes 00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:01.680 after Murray was released by the Arizona Cardinals, 00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:06.980 who had guaranteed him $36 .8 million. If Murray 00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:10.199 replaces J .J. McCarthy, the implications could 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.819 reshape the Vikings' offense. Murray's mixed 00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:16.500 tenure with the Cardinals included injuries and 00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.480 questions about his leadership. With a history 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.240 of injuries, McCarthy faces pressure to adapt 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.720 his game. If aimed the starter, Murray's dual 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.639 threat ability could elevate his fantasy value. 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.000 In local sports, the Aztecs picked a great time 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.910 to address their rebounding struggles. dominating 00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:40.589 Colorado State by 12 boards in a 71 -62 victory 00:05:40.589 --> 00:05:44.290 on Thursday night in Las Vegas. This win puts 00:05:44.290 --> 00:05:46.930 them just two wins away from an automatic spot 00:05:46.930 --> 00:05:49.850 in March Madness, despite a rough night shooting 00:05:49.850 --> 00:05:53.370 from long range, hitting only one out of 11 three 00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:56.709 -point attempts. Miles Byrd led the team with 00:05:56.709 --> 00:05:59.829 12 points, while Reece Dixon Waters and Farrah 00:05:59.829 --> 00:06:04.129 Compton each added 11. PSDSU's depth shined, 00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.629 with all nine players logging at least 15 minutes, 00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:12.250 outscoring the Rams bench 24 -6. They now prepare 00:06:12.250 --> 00:06:15.790 to face either New Mexico or San Jose State in 00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:21.430 the semifinals. In top news, what to know about 00:06:21.430 --> 00:06:24.350 the growing potential for a Super El Niño later 00:06:24.350 --> 00:06:27.509 this year? A significant shift in the Pacific 00:06:27.509 --> 00:06:30.449 Ocean, known as the El Niño climate pattern, 00:06:30.569 --> 00:06:33.329 is increasingly likely to develop this summer 00:06:33.329 --> 00:06:36.990 and continue through the 2026 Atlantic hurricane 00:06:36.990 --> 00:06:41.189 season. Forecasters estimate a 50 to 60 percent 00:06:41.189 --> 00:06:43.810 chance of this transition occurring in late summer 00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:47.209 and beyond. If El Nino develops during the summer, 00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:50.470 it could lead to fewer tropical storms and hurricanes. 00:06:51.470 --> 00:06:54.050 The strength of El Nino later in the season could 00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:57.170 significantly impact hurricane activity in late 00:06:57.170 --> 00:07:00.600 October and November. Increased precipitation 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.860 could also occur in parts of the West experiencing 00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:09.740 prolonged dry conditions. In business news, lithium 00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:12.220 was discovered deep underground in northeast 00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:15.540 Texas, sparking a competitive race for access. 00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:19.220 The Smuckover Formation, previously known for 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.860 its oil, is now recognized for containing some 00:07:21.860 --> 00:07:25.850 of the purest lithium brine worldwide. Local 00:07:25.850 --> 00:07:29.649 attorney BF Hicks is actively engaged in negotiating 00:07:29.649 --> 00:07:32.930 lithium leases as companies flood this rural 00:07:32.930 --> 00:07:36.550 area seeking this critical mineral. With U .S. 00:07:36.689 --> 00:07:39.370 lithium consumption projected to surge by 74 00:07:39.370 --> 00:07:44.589 % annually by 2029, Texas is positioning itself 00:07:44.589 --> 00:07:47.209 as a significant player in the lithium sector. 00:07:48.290 --> 00:07:51.529 Companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron are already 00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:54.339 investing heavily. aiming to capitalize on this 00:07:54.339 --> 00:07:59.180 emerging resource. In crypto movement, Bitcoin 00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:04.980 is up 6 % for the week to about $71 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:10.360 is up 7 % to just over $2 ,000.
