Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, May 23rd. You'll be interested
to know, 91 years ago today in 1934, the notorious
American outlaws, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow,
met their end in a police ambush near Gippsland,
Louisiana. Their crime spree during the Great
Depression had captured the nation's attention,
and their deaths marked the conclusion of a tumultuous
chapter in American history. This event underscored
the relentless pursuit of justice and the determination
of law enforcement to restore peace and order
during challenging times. So now you know. And
now, it's time for the Surf Report. Friday in
Encinitas and North County. It's looking fair
this morning with waist -to -chest -high sets
rolling in. Waves hold around 2 to 4 feet throughout
the morning, providing decent conditions. Expect
the winds to remain sideshore at 5 to 6 mph,
keeping the surface relatively smooth as the
day progresses. As conditions shift, watch for
some choppy waves later on. Best time to ride
is at 6 a .m. with the 3 -foot incoming high
tide when the south -southwest swell is 1 .5
feet at 18 seconds and the sideshore wind is
6 mph. The first high tide Friday will be 4 foot
at 7 a .m. with a 1 foot low tide at 1230. The
nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 68 degrees for
the water temperature. Saturday through Monday
presents a mixed bag of surf conditions. Saturday
starts choppy with south winds at 6 to 10 mph,
making it less than ideal. Sunday improves significantly
with clean, head -high waves in the morning,
though conditions turn choppy by afternoon. Monday
reverts to fair conditions, maintaining ridable
waves, but with choppy surf in the afternoon
due to increasing southwest winds. This morning,
it's mostly cloudy and it feels like 62 degrees
with 8 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take
place at 749 and it will rise again tomorrow
at 544. It looks like we're in for a partly sunny
Friday with a high around 65 and a light south
wind picking up to about 15. Tonight, we can
expect mostly cloudy skies. with a low of 61
and a gentle breeze. Looking ahead in the weather.
Expect partly sunny skies this weekend, with
highs around 64 to 65 degrees and light southwest
winds. Nights will be mostly cloudy, with lows
in the upper 50s to low 60s. Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

Sunny Morning sent you. In local news, warning
signs are now posted at Torrey Pines State Beach
after a swimmer had a close encounter with a
large shark measuring between 7 and 8 feet. This
incident occurred on Tuesday morning near Leifert
Tower 5, as reported by George Moreno from Cal
State University Long Beach's Shark Lab. Shark
Lab director Chris Lowe noted that it is the
start of shark season in Southern California.

shark bumps are rare, Lowe encouraged beach goers
to enjoy the water while remaining aware of the
presence of stingrays, which injure many people

playoff is set to adopt a street seating model
for the 2025 to 2026 postseason. Executives unanimously
approved this change, which means teams will
be seated directly based on the selection committee's
rankings, rather than conference championships.
This new format will allow the top four seeds
to earn a buy into the quarterfinals. However,
it comes with a financial compromise, ensuring
that the four highest -ranked conference champions
will still receive $8 million each, regardless
of their seed. As discussions continue regarding
the playoffs' future format, significant changes,
including a potential 16 -team playoff, are anticipated.

for streaming enthusiasts, Netflix will discontinue
support for certain older Amazon Fire TV devices

-generation Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire
TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote Control. These
models, launched in 2014, have not received software
