Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, November 7th. You'll be interested
to know. 108 years ago, today in 1917, mass demonstrations
and worker -led councils in Petrograd ignited
a popular uprising that replaced imperial rule
and launched a new era of political revolution.
It stood as a milestone in modern history by
showing how organized labor, soldiers, and citizens
could achieve sweeping social reforms and inspire
global movements for workers' rights. So now
you know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Friday at Tourmaline. This morning, it's looking
clean with waves at 6 to 8 feet. Conditions stay
clean until around 10 when they shift to fair
as the height increases to 6 to 9 feet. By noon,
the wind turns onshore at 8 miles per hour, causing
choppy conditions through the afternoon. Best
time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a 4 -foot incoming

.5 feet at 15 seconds and the offshore wind is
2 miles per hour. The first high tide on Friday
will be 7 feet at 9 .15 a .m., followed by a
minus 1 foot low tide at 4 .45. The nearshore
buoy at Mission Day West reads 68 degrees for
the water temperature. Conditions remain clean
on Saturday with waves at 3 to 5 plus feet early,
offering great opportunities for riders. Sunday
sees a slight decrease in size to 2 to 4 feet,
with choppy conditions developing later in the
day. Monday continues the trend with fair conditions
and waves around 2 to 3 plus feet, making for
a mellow start to the week. This morning it's
partly sunny, and it feels like 63 degrees with
no wind. The sunset will take place at 4 .53.
and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .15. It
looks like we're in for some mostly sunny weather
today, with a high near 73 and a light breeze

news, the biggest supermoon of the year shone
above San Diego on November 6, 2025, causing
the return of king tides through Friday. According
to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
A king tide is a term often used to describe
exceptionally high tides, which also create ideal
tide pooling conditions. San Diegans reported
sightings of several creatures in local tide
pools, including octopi in La Jolla. The lowest
tide on Thursday is negative 1 .33 feet at 3
.47 in the afternoon, and on Friday it is negative
1 .23 feet at 4 .41 in the afternoon. Advisories
are in effect for all San Diego County beaches
until late Friday night due to larger surf and
minor coastal flooding. Now on to sports. It
was ugly, but it was a big win for Denver. And
perhaps the ugliest game of the 2025 National
Football League season. The Broncos defeated
the Raiders 10 -7 to kick off Week 10 on Thursday
Night Football. Denver and Las Vegas combined
for more penalties, 22, than first downs, 20.
The game's leading receiver was veteran Tyler
Lockett, who had five catches for 44 yards. Denver
improved to eight wins and two losses, sitting
atop the American Football Conference West. They
now have a 92 % chance to make the playoffs,
while the Raiders' hopes are almost nonexistent.
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was apprehended
on Thursday in Dubai by U .S. Marshals on an
attempted murder charge, confirmed by the Miami
Police Department. This arrest concludes a months
-long search for the athlete who is now held
in Essex County, New Jersey. A video from a celebrity
boxing event appeared to show Brown involved
in an altercation with a black pistol in hand.
He evaded authorities for more than four months,
frequently posting on social media. Brown faces
a second -degree attempted murder charge that
could lead to 15 years in prison. Authorities
expressed relief at bringing him to justice.
In local sports, The San Diego Padres have named
Craig Stammen as their new manager in a shocking
hire. Stammen, a former 13 -year veteran reliever,
retired less than three years ago with no coaching
experience. At 41 years old, he received a three
-year contract outpacing candidates like Bruce
Bochy and Albert Puvos. Stammen replaces Mike
Schilt. who left with two years and $4 million
remaining on his contract. General Manager A
.J. Preller praised Stammen's strong presence
and leadership qualities. This managerial change
marked Stammen as the sixth full -time manager
under Preller. In top news, Gabapentin is gaining
attention as America's new favorite anxiety medication.
It has become the fifth most prescribed medication
in the United States, used for various conditions
like pinched nerves and migraine headaches. Despite
reports of a dark side, this medication is generally
safe when prescribed by a doctor. Gabapentin
increases levels of gamma -aminobutyric acid
in the brain, promoting calmness. Most prescriptions
today are off -label, often for anxiety and insomnia.
While side effects exist, many patients, like
Rubin, find it effective for managing anxiety
and improving sleep. If struggling, consult your
doctor about gabapentin as a potential solution.
In business news, Tesla shareholders approved
a $1 trillion compensation plan for CEO Elon
Musk on Thursday. awarding the world's richest
person what would be the largest corporate payout
in history if he meets necessary goals. More
than 75 % of investors voted in favor at the
annual shareholder event in Austin, Texas, with
chance of Elon erupting in celebration. Musk,
after briefly dancing on stage, described the
company's Optimus robots as the future for humanity.
Critics argued that this concentrated power in
one leader ignores Tesla's challenges, stating
Elon Musk just got $1 trillion for failure. If
Musk meets the milestones, he could become the
world's first trillionaire. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 5 % for the week, to just over
$102 ,000. Ethereum is down half a percent, to
about $3 ,300. And if yes, RP is down 9 % to
$2 .22. Moving on to a more local vibe. In our

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Apple is reportedly turning
to Google to create a custom Gemini artificial
intelligence model for the next version of its
virtual assistant Siri, set for spring 2026,
according to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple will pay $1 billion per year for this new
model with 1 .2 trillion parameters. While evaluating
its options, Apple found that using competitor
Anthropic would have cost $1 .5 billion per year.
This custom Gemini model will operate on Apple's
private cloud servers, while Apple's own models
will remain on devices for personal data. Despite
falling behind in artificial intelligence, Apple
recently surpassed a $4 trillion market cap.
Entertainment news. Predator, Badlands, is an
unpretentiously entertaining installment in the
franchise, directed by Dan Tractionberg. This
film features quirky extraterrestrial action
and odd couple chemistry between its leaves.
The makers had a fine time creating freakish
dangers on a distant planet, including mouthy
tree tentacles and a dinosaur -like monster.
As the ninth film in the franchise, it introduces
new aliens while referencing beloved details
from earlier films. With humor and ridiculous
scenarios, the movie cleverly explores themes
of cooperation and strength, making it a fun
date night film disguised as a sci -fi action
romp. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for
the quote of the day. And today... Our quote
comes from the American labor leader and civil
rights activist, Cesar Chavez. And he said, the
fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is
always about people. And that's a wrap for this
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports. Have an
amazing day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San
Diego.
