In today's episode, we begin with the San Diego surf report, anticipating a small new Southwest or South Southwest swell to show Friday and into the weekend, with most breaks under waist-high but a few chest-high sets at South County focal points. We provide details on conditions at Tourmaline and South San Diego, including optimal tide times and wind speeds. Next, we delve into local news, highlighting San Diego's proposal to make energy costs more affordable, particularly for lower-income families, through an income-based fixed rate system for electricity bills. We also explore the world of sports, covering the suspension of Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley for the first four games of the upcoming NBA season after throwing a basketball into the stands. Shifting gears to top news, we discuss research suggesting that famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven may have suffered from lead poisoning, potentially contributing to his lifelong health issues. In the business world, we explore WeWork's successful renegotiation of its leases in Atlanta as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, allowing it to continue operating six of its eleven locations. We also provide updates on the cryptocurrency market. In the realm of tech, we delve into OpenAI's upcoming announcement of its new AI-powered search product, directly challenging Google's dominance in the search engine market.
