Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Monday, November 17th. You'll be interested
to know. 52 years ago, today, in 1973, President
Richard Nixon delivered a forceful public statement
declaring, I'm not a crook, while defending his
conduct amid intense political scrutiny and legal
questioning. That moment crystallized a leader's
resolve to assert accountability and shaped public
discourse on trust in government, prompting new
expectations for transparency and ethical reform.
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf
Report. Monday at Tourmaline. This morning, it's
looking clean with waves around two to three
feet. Conditions will shift to fair by mid -morning
as the swell transitions to west -northwest.
Winds are currently offshore at 3 miles per hour
but will become sideshore and increase to 12
miles per hour by the afternoon. Best time to
ride is at 7 a .m. with the 6 -foot -high tide
when the southwest swell is 1 .5 feet at 13 seconds
and the offshore wind is 3 mile per hour. The
near shore GUI at Mission Day West reads 67 degrees
for the water temperature. Conditions start with
three to four foot choppy surf on Tuesday with
winds from the west at six miles per hour. Wednesday
sees a steady three plus foot clean swell providing
favorable conditions early on. By Thursday, surf
decreases to 2 to 3 feet, remaining choppy throughout
the day, with winds shifting to the south at
times. This morning, there's a slight chance
of rain showers, and it feels like 59 degrees,
with 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take
place at 446, and it will rise again tomorrow
at 626. It looks like we're in for some rain
showers today, mostly cloudy skies. with a high
near 66 and a light south wind around 10 miles
per hour, so be prepared for a good chance of
precipitation tonight. Expect cloudy skies with
continued rain, a low around 54, and a west wind
picking up to 15 miles per hour with gusts as
high as 20. Looking ahead in the weather, Tuesday
will be mostly cloudy with rain showers likely
and a high near 60, with a west wind near 5 to
10 miles per hour and a quarter to a half inch
of rain possible. Lows around 51 Tuesday night
with lingering showers. Then Wednesday turns
mostly sunny with highs near 63 before a chance
of showers returns Thursday and Friday with overnight
lows in the low 50s. Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

sealed a victory with help of a late pass interference
call. Rakiasen was in shock after being called
for pass interference late in the fourth quarter,
giving the Eagles a first down to seal the game.
Jalen Hurts scored the only touchdown in an otherwise
weak effort from the Philadelphia Eagles offense,
leading them to a 16 -9 win over the Detroit
Lions. The Eagles are the only team in the NFC
East with more than three wins, putting them
in contention for the top seed in the conference.
The Lions failed to convert on five fourth -down
attempts. In local sports, The Los Angeles Chargers
are feeling disappointed following their Week
11 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They
are heading home with bags over their heads after
a 35 -6 loss inside Everbank Stadium. The Chargers
struggled to find a rhythm on offense, while
the Jags took full advantage, running for 192
yards and scoring four touchdowns on the ground.

to retire the Lufa. While using one can feel
satisfying, it might be doing more harm than
good. Facial plastic surgeon Lara Duggan stated
that lufos trapped dead skin cells, water, and
bacteria. This creates a perfect environment
for microbes, increasing the risk of breakouts
and skin inflammation. Dermatologist Toral Vadia
warned that over -exfoliation can strip the skin
of its natural oils. For best results, use your
hands or a soft washcloth. In business news,

would end, then lost most gains by Thursday when
the government officially reopened. Equity suffered

would be unnecessary. Traders now price in a
43 % chance for a quarter point rate cut by year

Home Depot and Walmart will announce earnings

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. Scientists have discovered
a way to reverse kidney damage, leading experts
to claim we are in a golden age for treating
chronic kidney disease. Nicholas Palacios received
devastating news on his daughter's first birthday
in July 2020, when he learned he was facing stage
4 kidney disease. After medications halted his
decline, he participated in a clinical trial
for Terspotide, a GLP -1 receptor agonist. His
kidney function improved significantly, allowing
him to live without dialysis or a transplant.
Palacio's transformation reflects a broader trend,
with new treatments showing promise for chronic
kidney disease. Researchers now envision a potential
cure for kidney disease, marking a significant
shift in treatment options. The film Now You
See Me, Now You Don't swiped the top spot on
global box office charts with over $75 million.

performed well internationally, particularly
in China, South Korea, France, and the United
Kingdom. Demon Slayer Kometsu no Yaiba Infinity
Castle opened in China with $52 .4 million, bringing
its total to nearly $730 million. Paramount's
The Running Man collapsed at the box office,
earning $17 million, domestically and $11 million
internationally, significantly below its $110
million budget. Warner Bros. won battle after
another, crossed the $200 million mark globally,
but its production and marketing costs put it
deeply in the hole. Well, all righty, folks.
