Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, April 29th. You'll be interested
to know, 28 years ago today, in 1997, the Chemical
Weapons Convention came into force, marking a
monumental step in global efforts to eliminate
chemical warfare. This landmark treaty, signed
by 165 nations, prohibited the development, production,
stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons. The
establishment of the Organization for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons ensured compliance and oversaw
the destruction of existing arsenals. So now
you know. And now, it's time for the SURF Report.
Tuesday in Encinitas and North County. It's looking
clean this morning with waist to chest high sets
rolling in. Waves hold around 4 to 5 plus feet
throughout the morning, providing excellent conditions.
The winds are offshore at 1 mile per hour, keeping
the surface smooth and glassy. As the day progresses,
expect the winds to shift to sideshore by 9 a
.m., adding some texture to the waves. Best time
to ride is at 6 a .m. with a minus 1 foot low
tide when the south -southwest swell is 3 feet
at 16 seconds and the offshore wind is 1 mile
per hour. The first high tide Tuesday will be
3 .5 foot at 11 .45 a .m. with a 1 .5 foot low
tide just before 4 .30. The nearshore buoy at
Beacons reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.
Wednesday through Friday will feature clean conditions,
with waist to chest high waves in the morning,
ideal for catching a barrel. Light winds under
5 mph early allow for smooth rides, but expect
choppy surf in the afternoons as winds shift
to 8 to 10 mph. Friday sees a slight drop in
size, with a consistent knee -to -stomach high
swell through the day. This morning, it's partly
sunny. and it feels like 60 degrees with no wind.
The sunset will take place at 7 .32, and it will
rise again tomorrow at 6 .01. It looks like we're
in for a mostly sunny day with temperatures reaching
around 62, accompanied by a light breeze. Tonight,

news, in California, the deadline for obtaining
a real ID is fast approaching, with enforcement
starting on May 7th. After 17 years of delays,
federal officials emphasize that residents will
need a real ID to board domestic flights. As
of January 1st, more than 18 million Californians
possess this identification, but over 35 million
still need to comply. If you have not yet acquired
a real ID, other accepted forms of identification
include a United States passport and various
security cards. The California Department of
Motor Vehicles is extending hours at select locations
to accommodate this surge in applications. Now
on to sports. Shadir Sanders learned a crucial
lesson in humility during his NFL draft experience.
Despite being hailed as a top prospect, the former
Colorado quarterback endured a frustrating wait
of over two days and 143 selections before the
Cleveland Browns finally called his name. While
many analysts viewed him as a first -round pick,
NFL executives had concerns about his interviews
and perceived arrogance. This situation highlights
the stark contrast between media hype and the
realities faced by talent evaluators. Now Sanders
has the opportunity to prove himself, aiming
to fulfill his legendary aspirations in the league.
In local sports, the Lakers series now stands
at 3 -1, with the Timberwolves leading and the
Lakers facing elimination tomorrow night at the
Crypt. In hockey tonight, with the series tied
two games apiece, the Kings are in L .A. to face
the Oilers for game five. Puck drop is at seven
on max and TPS. For baseball tonight, the Padres
take on the Giants at Petco Park for game one
of a two -game series. Nick Tavetta, with a 1
.20 ERA, faces Logan Webb. First pitch is at
640. Expect mild conditions with temperatures
around 66 degrees. In top news, antisemitism
in the United States has surged to levels not
seen in nearly half a century. A report by the
Anti -Defamation League indicates an average
of 25 incidents per day, the highest since 1979.
Despite Jews making up about 2 % of the population,
they are targeted in more than two -thirds of
religious hate crimes. Rowdy Sharon Brow warns,
Antisemitism is always the canary in the coal
mine for the evisceration of the rights and dignity
of all people. Incidents related to Israel and
Zionism have sharply increased, highlighting
a troubling trend. Experts emphasize the need
for education and community building, rather
than government intervention, to combat this
alarming situation. In business news, last night,
CPC News projected that the Liberal Party will
form the next Canadian government, granting Mark
Carney a full term as Prime Minister. This comes
amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States.
While it remains uncertain if the Liberal Party
will secure a majority, they have currently obtained
160 seats in the House of Commons. Carney, a
former Goldman Sachs banker, successfully defeated
his rivals, including Pierre Poilever of the
Conservative Party. The election was heavily
influenced by President Donald Trump's tariffs,
prompting a bi -Canadian movement and a shift
back to the Liberal Party. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is unchanged at about $94 ,000. Ethereum
is unchanged at just under $1 ,800. And Goatsies
Maximus is up 10 % to $0 .08. Moving on to a

Just be sure to tell them sunny morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Scientists have made a significant breakthrough
in understanding hailstorm formation, a mystery
that has puzzled meteorologists for years. A
study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed
27 hailstones from nine storms in China. revealing
that hail primarily forms by descending steadily
or through a single upward push, rather than
the traditional recycling process. Lead author
King Hongzhang emphasized, This work fundamentally
changes how we understand hail formation. The
findings could enhance weather forecasting and
improve estimates of hailstorm dangers, though
funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration may hinder these efforts. Entertainment
news. In The Surfer, Nicolas Cage delivers a
performance that is undeniably unhinged. His
character, struggling through life's challenges,
attempts to reclaim his childhood home near a
picturesque Australian surfing spot. However,
a tough group of locals reminiscent of a motorcycle
gang, led by Julian McMahon, repeatedly warns
him, don't live here, don't surf here. The film
follows Cage's character as he battles desperation
and chaos, showcasing his unique ability to portray
madness. Drawing inspiration from real -life
surfer gangs, The Surfer feels like a nostalgic
exploitation film, highlighting Cage's unparalleled
talent in cinema. Well, alrighty folks, it's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the American journalist and
author, Robert Quillen. And he said, There are
glimpses of heaven to us in every act or thought
or word that raises us above ourselves. 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
