Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, November 20th. You'll be interested
to know. 80 years ago, today, in 1945. A tribunal
in Nuremberg convened to publicly try major leaders
of the defeated regime for crimes against peace,
humanity, and the laws of war. The trials established
a formal international standard for accountability,
asserting that even heads of state could face
justice and setting a precedent for future human
rights protection. So now you know. And now it's
time for the Surf Report. Thursday at Tourmaline.
This morning it's looking clean with waves around
2 plus feet. Conditions shift to fair by eight,
then become choppy as the wind picks up to sideshore
at six miles per hour by 10. Expect choppy waves
holding around two to three feet through the
afternoon as winds increase to 12 miles per hour.
Best time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a five -foot
incoming high tide. When the west -northwest
swell is one and a half feet at 12 seconds, and
the offshore wind is 3 mile per hour. The first
high tide on Thursday will be 6 feet at 8 a .m.,
followed by a half -foot low tide just before
3 30. The nearshore buoy at Mission Bay West
reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
start off clean with waves in the range of 2
to 4 feet on Friday, gradually building to 3
to 5 feet throughout the day. Saturday sees a
solid four to six foot swell, but choppy conditions
develop in the afternoon due to unsure winds.
Sunday brings the best surf with steady clean
waves reaching six to nine feet, making it the
standout day of the period. This morning, there's
a slight chance of rain showers, and it feels
like 56 degrees with five mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 445. and it will
rise again tomorrow at 627. It looks like we're
in for a slight chance of rain showers before
4 p .m., turning into showers and thunderstorms,
with a high around 63 and a gentle south wind
at 5 to 10, gusting up to 20. Tonight, expect
cloudy skies with more showers and thunderstorms,
a low near 55 and a south wind at 10 to 15. gusting
up to 25. Looking ahead in the weather. Friday
will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms
likely and a high near 63, with southeast winds
5 to 10 miles per hour gusting as high as 20
and a chance of rain around 60%. A few lingering

Padres chairman John Seidler stated, We will
undertake this process with integrity and professionalism,

Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A tiny ape -like humanoid may still
be living in plain sight, scientist says. Flores,
Indonesia is the home of the scientific study
of small humans. Retired professor Gregory Forth
continues to proliferate the hope of finding
a living homo -florationus. His book spells out
his multi -decade search for evidence of a continually
living human -like species. The scientific community
believes a small species of human known as Homo
floresiensis once lived on Flores, Indonesia,
around 50 ,000 years ago. Forth thinks these
ape -like humanoids could still exist, evolution
be damned. He has studied Homo floresiensis for
roughly 40 years. Forth's hopes of a living home
of Floresiensis were emboldened by the finding
of fossils roughly 20 years ago. Entertainment
