Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, May 6th.
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.
At first, you'll be interested to know, 20 years ago, today, in 2004.
The final episode of the television sitcom Friends aired and was watched by more than
52 million viewers.
The show lasted 10 seasons with 236 episodes.
Shockingly, as one of the most popular shows before the streaming era began, this episode
doesn't make the list of top 25 most watched episodes of all time.
The Apollo 11 moon landing had over 125 million viewers and the MASH series finale had over
105 million.
Yowza!
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Find a spike in northwest windswale and breezy onshore west-northwest flow on Monday with
waist-to-chest-high surf building to chest-to-head-high throughout the day.
Cleaner chunky surf is on tap Tuesday as northwest windswale eases, mixing with old and new south
southwest swell.
Thighs is in the waist-to-stomach-high range with inconsistent chest-high sets.
And out see more consistent surf in the chest-to-head-high range.

In local news, this past weekend thousands gathered at Liberty Station for the 30th annual
Walk for Animals, aiming to support the San Diego Humane Society.
This crucial fundraising event helps finance the shelter's essential resources, which
are pivotal for animal care.
This summer there will be a significant 60% surge in shelter animals over the past year.
With a fundraising target of $330,000, the event raised over $300,000 through nearly
3,000 participants, marking the beginning of their fundraising and animal care season.
Additionally, San Diego County has introduced a new foster program to address shelter overcrowding,
offering over 1,000 pets for fostering.
Now on to sports.
Shohei Otani delivered an outstanding performance for the Dodgers, hitting two home runs, Sunday
against the Braves, contributing to a 5-1 win, and completing a three-game series sweep.
One of his homers was a monumental 464-foot shot, marking one of the longest in Dodger
Stadium's history.
Otani's current season stats include a leading 364 batting average and 1.11 on-base
percentage plus slugging, showcasing his significant impact in his first season with the Dodgers
amidst high expectations and past controversies.
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Diamondbacks 11-4.
Tonight, the Padres are on the road in Chicago to take on the Cubs.
In top news, recent global weather patterns, supercharged by record-breaking global temperatures,
are causing unusual and extreme rainfall across various regions, from East Africa to southeastern
Australia.
This has led to devastating floods and infrastructure challenges.
As the planet warms, the atmosphere holds more moisture, contributing to more intense
and frequent downpours.
This shift in climate raises concerns about future infrastructure resilience, economic
impact on insurance and agriculture, and the need for global adaptation to a potentially
wetter environment.
Sounds like it's time to invest in umbrella stocks.
In business news, this week the market will focus on several key events, including earnings
reports from major companies like Tisney, Talenteer, and Uber.
Additionally, Apple will potentially unveil a new iPad at its Let Loose product event
on Tuesday.
Federal Reserve officials are set to discuss economic conditions, which could provide insights
into future monetary policies.
Updates on consumer sentiment and lending standards will also be important.
These elements combine to provide a comprehensive overview of potential market movements and
economic health indicators for the week.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,000.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Researchers have discovered what might be the deepest blue hole on Earth, the Tom Job
Blue Hole, located underwater near the Mexico-Bolise border.
Previously thought to be the second deepest, recent studies suggest it extends at least
1,400 feet below sea level.
Intriguingly, it could be connected to a vast network of underwater caves, potentially harboring
undiscovered marine biodiversity.
This blue hole and its unexplored depths highlight the vast unknowns of our planet's oceanic
environments.
And in entertainment news, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny exceeded its budget by
$100 million according to financial statements from the production company.
The film starring Harrison Ford faced significant costs, notably $79 million on post-production
alone, to create the aged visuals of Ford.
Despite the high expenditure, the movie underperformed at the box office, earning $384 million, which
was lower than its predecessors when adjusted for inflation.
Consequently, Disney experienced a substantial financial loss, with estimates suggesting
a $143 million shortfall.
Bummer, I liked the movie.
That'll work on that budgeting, though.
After all, money doesn't grow on trees.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from one of our favorite Friends characters, Joey Tribbiani.
And finally, our biggest item of the night, the 22-foot Gentleman's Day Sailor Sailboat.
The winning bid was a whopping $20,000.
I won!
That was my guess!
What?
I guessed $20,000!
Joey, it is an auction!
You don't guess, you don't guess.
You don't guess, you buy!
What?
And that's a wrap for this morning.

Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.
