00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:04.639
Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.179
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:13.660
and it's Monday, November 3rd. You'll be interested

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:20.399
to know. 68 years ago, today, in 1957, Soviet

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.760
engineers launched Sputnik 2, carrying a small

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.500
dog named Leika into orbit, demonstrating rapid

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:31.609
progress in space -like capabilities. The successful

00:00:31.609 --> 00:00:34.670
orbital mission marked a major milestone in human

00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:38.310
curiosity and technological achievement, inspiring

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:41.670
international focus on space exploration and

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:47.369
scientific innovation. So now you know. And now

00:00:47.369 --> 00:00:54.170
it's time for the Surf Report. Monday in Encinitas.

00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:57.590
This morning it's looking clean with waves around

00:00:57.590 --> 00:01:02.100
2 to 4 feet. We're seeing three -plus feet holding

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.700
steady through the morning. Winds are light and

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:09.319
offshore at two to three miles per hour, but

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.099
they'll shift to onshore by late morning. Expect

00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:15.879
conditions to get choppy as the wind picks up

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.959
later in the day. Best time to ride is at 6 a

00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.280
.m. with a five -foot incoming high tide when

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.819
the south -southwest swell is two feet at 15

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:30.459
seconds. and the offshore wind is 0 mile per

00:01:30.459 --> 00:01:34.280
hour. The first high tide on Monday will be 6

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.920
feet just before 7 a .m., followed by a zero

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.239
-foot low tide at 1 .30. The nearshore buoy at

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.299
Beacons reads 67 degrees for the water temperature.

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.579
Conditions start clean with waves around 2 to

00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:55.409
3 feet on Tuesday, ideal for all levels. Wednesday

00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:58.689
sees a slight drop in size to 2 feet, with choppy

00:01:58.689 --> 00:02:01.769
conditions in the afternoon. Thursday brings

00:02:01.769 --> 00:02:04.629
a steady increase, with waves building to 4 to

00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:07.650
6 feet, offering cleaner faces in the evening,

00:02:08.069 --> 00:02:12.590
making it the standout day of the period. This

00:02:12.590 --> 00:02:15.789
morning, there's patchy fog, and it feels like

00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:20.349
66 degrees, with no wind. The sunset will take

00:02:20.349 --> 00:02:23.780
place at 4 .56. and it will rise again tomorrow

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:27.800
at 612. It looks like we're in for some patchy

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.300
fog before 10 a .m., getting way to mostly cloudy

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:35.479
skies with a high near 67 and a light west wind.

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:40.560
Tonight, expect cloudy conditions with patchy

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.620
fog after 10 p .m. and a low around 58 with calm

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:49.919
winds. Looking ahead in the weather, Tuesday

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.080
starts with patchy fog before 10 a .m., then

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.740
becomes partly sunny with a high near 66 and

00:02:56.740 --> 00:03:00.400
a light southwest breeze. Nights through Thursday

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.780
stay mostly cloudy with lows around 58, while

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:06.819
Wednesday and Thursday remain partly sunny with

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:12.039
highs near 65 to 66. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:15.439
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.319
Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled on El

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.960
Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard,

00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.039
this cafe is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.280
in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.719
-free crepes. You can grab a panini for lunch

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.479
or just breeze on through to get your morning

00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.360
coffee. They are open every day from 8 to 5.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:45.099
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:50.860
Sunny mornings send you. In local news, researchers

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:54.039
at the University of California San Diego have

00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.580
made an exciting discovery, uncovering an unpublished

00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:00.879
manuscript by Dr. Seuss, featuring the beloved

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.180
cat in the hat that celebrates the United States.

00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:08.460
Titled Sing the 50 United States, this manuscript

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:11.099
will be published next year, just in time for

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:16.160
America's 250th anniversary. This marks the first

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.000
full manuscript discovered since What Pet Should

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.560
I Get? was released posthumously in 2015. The

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.360
manuscript was found at the Geisel Library along

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.199
with a cover sketch and notes by Theodor Geisel

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.540
and features new illustrations by artist Tom

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.800
Brannen. Random House Children's Books plans

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.199
to publish the book on June 2nd, 2026 with an

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:50.019
initial printing of 500 ,000 copies. Now on to

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:54.519
sports. In the latest NFL news, the Indianapolis

00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.439
Colts suffered a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh

00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.560
Steelers with a final score of 27 to 20. Quarterback

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.420
Daniel Jones struggled, leading to skepticism

00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:08.899
about his future and the Colts' Super Bowl aspirations.

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.279
Despite a 7 -1 record, doubts lingered due to

00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.699
this performance. Jones, who had been strong

00:05:16.699 --> 00:05:19.439
all season, faced pressure and made critical

00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.980
mistakes, resulting in four turnovers. Meanwhile,

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.620
Matthew Stafford shined for the Rams, throwing

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:30.259
four touchdowns in a 34 -10 victory over the

00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:33.939
New Orleans Saints. The Kansas City Chiefs also

00:05:33.939 --> 00:05:36.639
faced challenges, potentially impacting their

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.199
playoff positioning after a loss to the Buffalo

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.949
Bills. The Cincinnati Bengals defense remains

00:05:42.949 --> 00:05:45.689
a concern following a last -minute defeat by

00:05:45.689 --> 00:05:49.430
the Chicago Bears. The Atlanta Falcons continue

00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:52.149
to struggle with kicking issues, while the Green

00:05:52.149 --> 00:05:54.910
Bay Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers in

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:58.389
a surprising upset. These outcomes highlight

00:05:58.389 --> 00:06:03.509
the unpredictability of this NFL season in local

00:06:03.509 --> 00:06:07.839
sports. Jim Harbaugh drew a strange comparison

00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.000
between quarterback Justin Herbert and Hall of

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.120
Fame fullback Larry Zonka. In week nine, the

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.019
Los Angeles Chargers secured a victory over the

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:23.000
Tennessee Titans with a score of 27 to 20. Despite

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.920
a messy game, Herbert excelled, leading the team

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.459
in rushing with 49 yards and a touchdown. Harbaugh's

00:06:30.459 --> 00:06:32.980
comparison, while somewhat tongue -in -cheek,

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.980
highlights Herbert's impressive ability to play

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:39.540
through contact. This capability is essential

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:42.420
for the Chargers' offensive success, especially

00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:44.759
with injuries affecting their offensive line

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.199
and running game. Herbert's rushing ability could

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:54.319
be a key factor this season. In top news, more

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.170
than 10 million YouTube TV customers lost access

00:06:58.170 --> 00:07:02.910
to ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels Thursday

00:07:02.910 --> 00:07:06.009
night after contract negotiations over carriage

00:07:06.009 --> 00:07:09.649
fees collapsed. The dispute reflects broader

00:07:09.649 --> 00:07:12.709
tensions as programming companies demand higher

00:07:12.709 --> 00:07:15.509
fees for sports content while pay television

00:07:15.509 --> 00:07:18.329
providers push back against rising subscriber

00:07:18.329 --> 00:07:22.389
bills. College football and NFL games are among

00:07:22.389 --> 00:07:25.529
the affected programming with no clear resolution

00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:29.480
timeline. YouTube TV stated, We know this is

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.980
a frustrating and disappointing outcome for our

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:35.579
subscribers. The blackout could lead to a $20

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:38.699
credit for subscribers if it lasts for an extended

00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:43.860
period. In business news, Donald Trump's grant

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:47.519
of clemency to Chengfeng Zhao, the founder of

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.740
finance, highlights failures and checks on presidential

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:55.139
power. During a recent exchange with CNN's Caitlin

00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:57.779
Collins, Trump dismissed questions about the

00:07:57.779 --> 00:08:01.560
pardon, claiming Zheo had a lot of support, and

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:06.100
was persecuted by the Biden administration. Zheo,

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.259
known as See These, was convicted for failing

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:12.019
to maintain an effective anti -money laundering

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:15.779
program and has a net worth of roughly $60 billion.

00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.560
Despite his controversial pardon, Trump continues

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.100
to benefit from the cryptocurrency industry.

00:08:23.310 --> 00:08:26.209
raising concerns about corruption and the integrity

00:08:26.209 --> 00:08:30.730
of the American political system. In crypto movement,

00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:35.590
Bitcoin is down 3 % over the weekend to $108

00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:41.450
,000. Ethereum is down 6 % to about $3 ,700.

00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:50.330
And XRP is unchanged at $2 .43. Moving on to

00:08:50.330 --> 00:08:54.460
a more local vibe. In our community spotlight

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:57.480
on health and wellness, we are working with a

00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.220
national Pilates studio to bring you some free

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:04.620
classes, so listen up. Check out Club Pilates

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:07.779
with several locations in the San Diego area.

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:11.299
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach,

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:15.279
cultivating strength, reducing tension, and elevating

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.019
mental well -being. Scientific research affirms

00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:23.500
its benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:27.419
for a free class with locations in Encinitas,

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:32.840
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla and more. Just

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.679
be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:41.480
And now back to the show. Let's talk science.

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.899
The ocean is doing its best to absorb excess

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:47.980
heat from greenhouse emissions, but once humanity

00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:51.639
achieves a net negative carbon economy, the consequences

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.539
will be severe. A new study indicates that when

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:58.419
cooling begins after fossil fuel use is stopped,

00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.899
the ocean will burp excess heat, resembling the

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:06.299
effects of humanity's fossil fuel era. This emphasizes

00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:09.419
the urgency of reducing emissions. Achieving

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:13.779
a net neutral world is crucial. The ocean produces

00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:17.980
50 % of our oxygen and absorbs 30 % of atmospheric

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:22.330
carbon. Even in an ideal climate scenario, heat

00:10:22.330 --> 00:10:24.809
trapped in the Southern Ocean could result in

00:10:24.809 --> 00:10:28.629
significant warming effects for decades. This

00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:30.929
research highlights the complexity of our climate

00:10:30.929 --> 00:10:33.549
goals, suggesting that the road to a healthier

00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:42.470
planet is still challenging. The National Football

00:10:42.470 --> 00:10:45.690
League announces that Sting will headline the

00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:49.330
Super Bowl branded concert amid controversy surrounding

00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:53.190
Bad Bunny. The Every Breath You Take singer will

00:10:53.190 --> 00:10:56.529
perform in San Francisco on February 6th at the

00:10:56.529 --> 00:11:00.070
Palace of Fine Arts, two days before Bad Bunny's

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:03.789
halftime show. Sting's performance is part of

00:11:03.789 --> 00:11:07.549
the Super Bowl LX Studio 60 event, which promises

00:11:07.549 --> 00:11:11.580
unforgettable music entertainment. Tickets for

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:17.460
Sting's concert start at $750 each. Despite criticism

00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:20.059
of Bad Bunny's selection for the halftime show,

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.879
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell remains optimistic

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.700
about the event. Sting previously performed at

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:32.659
the Super Bowl halftime show in 2003. Well, all

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:35.340
righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:39.470
day. And today... Our quote comes from the American

00:11:39.470 --> 00:11:43.870
marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle.

00:11:44.409 --> 00:12:01.629
And she said, And that's a wrap for this morning.

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.240
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.879
TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with

00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.919
local news and the surf reports. Have an amazing

00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.340
day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow

00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:18.659
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
