Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Monday, November 3rd. You'll be interested
to know. 68 years ago, today, in 1957, Soviet
engineers launched Sputnik 2, carrying a small
dog named Leika into orbit, demonstrating rapid
progress in space -like capabilities. The successful
orbital mission marked a major milestone in human
curiosity and technological achievement, inspiring
international focus on space exploration and
scientific innovation. So now you know. And now
it's time for the Surf Report. Monday in Encinitas.
This morning it's looking clean with waves around
2 to 4 feet. We're seeing three -plus feet holding
steady through the morning. Winds are light and
offshore at two to three miles per hour, but
they'll shift to onshore by late morning. Expect
conditions to get choppy as the wind picks up
later in the day. Best time to ride is at 6 a
.m. with a five -foot incoming high tide when
the south -southwest swell is two feet at 15
seconds. and the offshore wind is 0 mile per
hour. The first high tide on Monday will be 6
feet just before 7 a .m., followed by a zero
-foot low tide at 1 .30. The nearshore buoy at
Beacons reads 67 degrees for the water temperature.
Conditions start clean with waves around 2 to
3 feet on Tuesday, ideal for all levels. Wednesday
sees a slight drop in size to 2 feet, with choppy
conditions in the afternoon. Thursday brings
a steady increase, with waves building to 4 to
6 feet, offering cleaner faces in the evening,
making it the standout day of the period. This
morning, there's patchy fog, and it feels like
66 degrees, with no wind. The sunset will take
place at 4 .56. and it will rise again tomorrow
at 612. It looks like we're in for some patchy
fog before 10 a .m., getting way to mostly cloudy
skies with a high near 67 and a light west wind.
Tonight, expect cloudy conditions with patchy
fog after 10 p .m. and a low around 58 with calm
winds. Looking ahead in the weather, Tuesday
starts with patchy fog before 10 a .m., then
becomes partly sunny with a high near 66 and
a light southwest breeze. Nights through Thursday
stay mostly cloudy with lows around 58, while
Wednesday and Thursday remain partly sunny with
highs near 65 to 66. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, researchers
at the University of California San Diego have
made an exciting discovery, uncovering an unpublished
manuscript by Dr. Seuss, featuring the beloved
cat in the hat that celebrates the United States.
Titled Sing the 50 United States, this manuscript
will be published next year, just in time for
America's 250th anniversary. This marks the first
full manuscript discovered since What Pet Should
I Get? was released posthumously in 2015. The
manuscript was found at the Geisel Library along
with a cover sketch and notes by Theodor Geisel
and features new illustrations by artist Tom
Brannen. Random House Children's Books plans
to publish the book on June 2nd, 2026 with an
initial printing of 500 ,000 copies. Now on to
sports. In the latest NFL news, the Indianapolis
Colts suffered a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh
Steelers with a final score of 27 to 20. Quarterback
Daniel Jones struggled, leading to skepticism
about his future and the Colts' Super Bowl aspirations.
Despite a 7 -1 record, doubts lingered due to
this performance. Jones, who had been strong
all season, faced pressure and made critical
mistakes, resulting in four turnovers. Meanwhile,
Matthew Stafford shined for the Rams, throwing
four touchdowns in a 34 -10 victory over the
New Orleans Saints. The Kansas City Chiefs also
faced challenges, potentially impacting their
playoff positioning after a loss to the Buffalo
Bills. The Cincinnati Bengals defense remains
a concern following a last -minute defeat by
the Chicago Bears. The Atlanta Falcons continue
to struggle with kicking issues, while the Green
Bay Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers in
a surprising upset. These outcomes highlight
the unpredictability of this NFL season in local
sports. Jim Harbaugh drew a strange comparison
between quarterback Justin Herbert and Hall of
Fame fullback Larry Zonka. In week nine, the
Los Angeles Chargers secured a victory over the
Tennessee Titans with a score of 27 to 20. Despite
a messy game, Herbert excelled, leading the team
in rushing with 49 yards and a touchdown. Harbaugh's
comparison, while somewhat tongue -in -cheek,
highlights Herbert's impressive ability to play
through contact. This capability is essential
for the Chargers' offensive success, especially
with injuries affecting their offensive line
and running game. Herbert's rushing ability could
be a key factor this season. In top news, more
than 10 million YouTube TV customers lost access
to ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels Thursday
night after contract negotiations over carriage
fees collapsed. The dispute reflects broader
tensions as programming companies demand higher
fees for sports content while pay television
providers push back against rising subscriber
bills. College football and NFL games are among
the affected programming with no clear resolution
timeline. YouTube TV stated, We know this is
a frustrating and disappointing outcome for our
subscribers. The blackout could lead to a $20
credit for subscribers if it lasts for an extended
period. In business news, Donald Trump's grant
of clemency to Chengfeng Zhao, the founder of
finance, highlights failures and checks on presidential
power. During a recent exchange with CNN's Caitlin
Collins, Trump dismissed questions about the
pardon, claiming Zheo had a lot of support, and
was persecuted by the Biden administration. Zheo,
known as See These, was convicted for failing
to maintain an effective anti -money laundering
program and has a net worth of roughly $60 billion.
Despite his controversial pardon, Trump continues
to benefit from the cryptocurrency industry.
raising concerns about corruption and the integrity
of the American political system. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 3 % over the weekend to $108
,000. Ethereum is down 6 % to about $3 ,700.
And XRP is unchanged at $2 .43. Moving on to

And now back to the show. Let's talk science.
The ocean is doing its best to absorb excess
heat from greenhouse emissions, but once humanity
achieves a net negative carbon economy, the consequences
will be severe. A new study indicates that when
cooling begins after fossil fuel use is stopped,
the ocean will burp excess heat, resembling the
effects of humanity's fossil fuel era. This emphasizes
the urgency of reducing emissions. Achieving
a net neutral world is crucial. The ocean produces
50 % of our oxygen and absorbs 30 % of atmospheric
carbon. Even in an ideal climate scenario, heat
trapped in the Southern Ocean could result in
significant warming effects for decades. This
research highlights the complexity of our climate
goals, suggesting that the road to a healthier
planet is still challenging. The National Football
League announces that Sting will headline the
Super Bowl branded concert amid controversy surrounding
Bad Bunny. The Every Breath You Take singer will
perform in San Francisco on February 6th at the
Palace of Fine Arts, two days before Bad Bunny's
halftime show. Sting's performance is part of
the Super Bowl LX Studio 60 event, which promises
unforgettable music entertainment. Tickets for
Sting's concert start at $750 each. Despite criticism
of Bad Bunny's selection for the halftime show,
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell remains optimistic
about the event. Sting previously performed at
the Super Bowl halftime show in 2003. Well, all
righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
day. And today... Our quote comes from the American
marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle.
And she said, And that's a wrap for this morning.
