Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, May 31st.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know.
Today's National Macaroon Day.
The uniquely American cookie is often confused with the French macaroon.
Both confections share origins and key ingredients like sugar and egg whites, but diverge in
texture and base ingredients.
Macarons use almond flour, while macaroons utilize shredded coconut.
Mrs. Esther Levy popularized macaroons in her 1871 first Jewish American cookbook, highlighting
their cake-like texture.
Macaroons originally adapted when Florida's coconut palms began bearing fruit, exemplify
early locavore practices.
These chewy coconut delights merit recognition for their distinct characteristics and historical
significance.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect a slight increase in surf on Friday, with many spots in San Diego averaging waist
high while top breaks get up to shoulder high.
Variable wind is expected, with a south wind eddy in the mornings.
New south-southwest swell from Friday peaks over the weekend before slowly fading.
Waist to shoulder high surf is expected at the peak with some larger waves at times.
Standout breaks in San Diego should hit head high to a hair overhead on the larger sets.
Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.
It's looking clean to pour throughout the day at 2 to 3 feet.
It's looking fair for your sunset session, so get out there.
It's the weekend.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 2 and a half foot outgoing tide, when the southwest
swell is 1 foot at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 mile per hour.
The first low tide Friday will be 1 foot at 1045 a.m. with a 5 foot high tide at 545.
The new shore gooey at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.

In local news, dredging has resumed at Oceanside Harbor aiming to collect 250,000 cubic yards
of sand for beaches south of the pier.
Contractor Manson Construction expects to complete the work in two weeks despite recent mechanical
delays.
Most years dredged sand is placed north of the pier, but this year it will extend as
far south as Tyson Street Park.
This is the first such extension in five years addressing erosion concerns.
Oceanside officials are also working on the Rebeach project to further restore beaches
by 2026.
Now on to sports.
Top draft pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks
during their training camp, marking the Bears' first appearance on the show.
Despite initial resistance from Chairman George McCasky, the appeal of Williams and the team's
promising prospects led to their selection.
The series will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the Bears' preparations, starting
with their early training camp in late July and culminating in the Hall of Fame game on
August 1.
The first episode airs on August 6.
There were no major sporting events in San Diego last night, but tonight the Padres are
on the road in Kansas City to take on the Royals.
In top news, Boeing is committed to major changes in its manufacturing processes to
rebuild trust and quality following an FAA-mandated plan after a 737 MAX mid-air incident in January.
The plan, presented by CEO Dave Caldoun, includes strengthening the safety management system,
better employee training, and increased oversight of suppliers.
The FAA will maintain strict oversight, with weekly progress meetings and more inspectors.
Production caps on the 737 will remain until Boeing demonstrates consistent commitment
to safety and quality improvements.
CEO Caldoun will step down at the end of the year.
In business news, Controller for HomeKit has introduced a new Floor Plan feature, allowing
users to create a 3D model of their home using a LIDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad.
This feature enables users to map HomeKit devices onto the model for intuitive control
and monitoring.
Even without a LIDAR device, users can scan an app clip on a friend's device and export
the model.
The app also offers complex automations, notifications, and backups.
The basic version is free on the App Store, with a pro version available via subscription
or lifetime license.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $68,500, Ethereum is $3,700, and Solana is $167.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Thousands of NHS patients in England will join trials for personalized cancer vaccines,
aiming to provide a permanent cure by targeting individual tumors.
This groundbreaking initiative, part of the Cancer Vaccine Launchpad, is hailed as a
game-changer and will initially focus on colorectal, skin, lung, bladder, pancreatic, and kidney
cancers.
The vaccines, developed by companies like BioNTech, use mRNA technology to help the
immune system identify and destroy cancer cells, reducing the risk of recurrence.
This marks a significant advancement in cancer treatment.
And in entertainment news, director John Turteltab has confirmed that a script for National Treasure
III is currently being written with hopes of Nicolas Cage and the original cast returning.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer expressed optimism about the project earlier this year.
Turteltab emphasized the importance of adapting to cultural changes and maintaining relevance.
Nicolas Cage also voiced his surprise that Disney hasn't greenlit the sequel yet, highlighting
the family-friendly and educational nature of the films.
More updates on the movie are expected in the future.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, I'd like to send some thoughts and prayers to my Uncle Danny, who's in the
hospital recovering from open-heart surgery.
Be strong, Uncle D, and rest up.
You'll be back on your feet in no time.
Until then, we're all thinking about you and sending you love and positive energy.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
We'll be back on Monday with another episode of the Sunny Mornings Podcast.
