In this episode, we dive into the latest happenings around Ocean Beach SF and beyond. Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu is set to lead San Francisco's Lunar New Year parade as the grand marshal, fresh off her recent silver medal win in Milan-Cortina. Meanwhile, Caltrans has announced several highway closures near Sonoma due to flooding, with high tides exacerbating the situation. These closures are expected to persist, impacting Westbound Highway 12 and parts of Highway 121.

For surf enthusiasts, Ocean Beach is experiencing choppy conditions with waves reaching up to nine feet, driven by strong onshore winds. The best time to catch a wave is at 11 AM during the outgoing high tide. Weather-wise, expect showers and thunderstorms with temperatures hovering around the mid-50s, accompanied by strong winds.

In sports, the San Diego Padres are up for sale, but team chairman John Seidler assures fans the team will remain in the city. Potential buyers include high-profile investors, and the sale could reach $2.5 billion. We also touch on Lufthansa's business class expansion and the latest crypto market movements. Stay tuned for more updates on these evolving stories.
