Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, October 3rd. You'll be interested
to know. 35 years ago, today, in 1990, Germany
was joyfully reunified, ending decades of division
and marking a triumphant moment of human unity
and democratic progress. This inspiring event,
celebrated as German Unity Day in Berlin, Germany,
stands as a powerful testament to reconciliation,
perseverance, and the enduring human spirit.
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf
Report. Friday in Encinitas. This morning it's
looking clean with two feet of swell coming from
the south -southwest. Winds are offshore at 3
miles per hour early on, but will shift onshore
by 10 o 'clock, picking up to 7 miles per hour.
I expect conditions to become fair by late morning
and then choppy as the day goes on. Best time
to ride is at 8 a .m. with a 4 -foot high tide
when the south -southwest swell is 1 .5 feet
at 12 seconds and the offshore wind is 2 miles
per hour. The first high tide on Friday will
be 4 .5 feet just before 8 a .m., followed by
a 2 -foot low tide at 115. The nearshore buoy
at Beacons reads 69 degrees for the water temperature.
Expect fair conditions with waves around 3 to
4 feet on Saturday, though choppiness increases
in the afternoon. Sunday brings cleaner lines
and a steady 2 to 3 -plus feet. making it the
standout day of the period. Monday holds similar
sizes but shifts to choppy conditions later,
as winds pick up throughout the day. This morning,
it's cloudy and it feels like 66 degrees, with
5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take place
at 6 .32, and it will rise again tomorrow at
6 .47. It looks like we're in for a mostly cloudy
day with a high near 68 and a light southeast
wind blowing at 5 to 15 miles per hour. Tonight,
expect mostly cloudy skies with a low around
62 and a gentle northeast breeze. Looking ahead
in the weather, Saturday will be mostly sunny
with highs near 68. and a light southwest breeze
of 5 to 10 miles per hour. Sunday and Monday
stay mostly to partly sunny, with highs near
67 and nights in the low 60s, while patchy fog
is possible late Monday night into Tuesday morning.

benefited from what seemed to be a bad strike
call by home plate umpire DJ Rayburn. After the

In business news, getting an MBA in the United
States has become more expensive and less profitable.
A Bloomberg analysis shows that the return on
investment fell at four out of five business
goals, as pay after graduation has stagnated.
This year's update projects a typical return
on investment of 12 .3 % a year, down from 13
.3 % last year. The main reason for this decline
is that projected post -degree earnings increased
only 1 .7%. Syracuse University's Whitman School
of Management experienced the sharpest decline
as tuition and expenses rose significantly. Tulane
University's Freeman School of Business saw its
return on investment double thanks to a rise
in compensation and crypto movement. Bitcoin
is up 7 % for the week to $120 ,000. Ethereum
is up 9 % to just under $4 ,500. And XRP is up
5 % to $3 .01. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Okanai's Sora has skyrocketed
to third place on the App Store. Currently, Okanai
has two apps in the top three, but it still trails
behind Gemini due to the sustained success of
Google's Nano Banana image model. On September
30th, Okanai released Sora, a social app powered
by a revamped version of its original generative
video model. Despite being invite -only, the
app gained considerable momentum, with 56 ,000
installs in the United States on its first day
and 108 ,000 installs on its second day. Interestingly,
two out of the current top three apps heavily

image - and video -based AI features. Shane Black
believes Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Dr.
Doom will single -handedly reinvigorate comic
book movies. Downey is returning to the Marvel
spotlight, but this time he is not suiting up
as Iron Man. He will take on the iconic villain
role in Marvel Studios' upcoming film, Avengers
Doomsday. Black expressed his excitement about
Downey's casting during a promotion for his movie,
Play Dirty. Despite skepticism from fans and
critics, many think Downey's return could be
just what Marvel needs to regain momentum. If
the film delivers, it might reshape how legacy
actors are utilized in superhero storytelling.
